Book Club

Book Club

We are a small book club in the Cotswold village of Brockhampton, Gloucestershire.  The Book Club meets every 6 to 8 week when we try to review one or two books.  We meet in each others' houses for a very informal session of about one & a half to two hours.



If you click through the link we get a very very small fee from Amazon if you buy the books.

Small way of making them pay a tax! Click here to get the books    amazon

The Next meeting is Wednesday 29th May 2013.

Do come and join us.
