Service Description
All are warmly invited to join our next Community Book Group. There is no expectation for you to have finished the book; all are welcome. Even if the book did not live up to expectations, the discussion will always be varied, valuable and valid. The space will be loosely held to ensure that each person has the opportunity to offer a contribution, before opening up for a wider discussion. Recommendations for further reading will be led by the community. OUR STORY SO FAR....
