Members’ Book Group – New members welcome
Our member's book group has been running successfully for many years, new members are always welcome; new people and different views always add more to discussions. We meet on the second Tuesday of every month from 2.30pm - 4.30pm in the Upper Reading Room of the Institution. We are a member run group and choose our book selection at the end of the year for the year ahead, all member's of the group are encouraged to make suggestions.
