Hi all,

Book Club is this Wednesday 8th April 7.30 at the Crucible Corner. We're going classic and reading 'Persuasion' by Jane Austen.

"Twenty-seven-year old Anne Elliot is Austen's most adult heroine. Eight years before the story proper begins, she is happily betrothed to a naval officer, Frederick Wentworth, but she precipitously breaks off the engagement when persuaded by her friend Lady Russell that such a match is unworthy. A story of regret and the question of whether a reunion is possible? This is Jane Austen's final finished work."

Remember book club is all about giving you an opportunity to read things you might not naturally pick up (again!?).

Poetry Club

Next Poetry club is on Wednesday 22nd April, subject to be decided
