We are a lively group who enjoy reading and discussing a different book every month. We are only a small group as we take it in turns to host the monthly meetings in our homes.
We have a wide range of interests and tastes, but often find the choice of the month is one we would not have read otherwise – the benefit of sharing our experiences in u3a. Some of us ask the challenging questions about the book - but we all join in the discussions and enjoy the delicious cake and cup of tea at the end of the afternoon, when conversation becomes more general – other books, theatre and television productions and holidays...
Our monthly book choice is made by members of the group and is varied.
Books for group reading in 2026 include:
- May - The Women by Kristin Hannah
- June - Clear by Carys Davies
- July - Love Lane by Patrick Gale
- August - Is a River Alive by Robert MacFarlane
