The Book Group reads books for enjoyment. The titles selected mirror our interests, but are also chosen to improve the quality and range of our reading.

Each month a volunteer introduces the "Book of the Month", which is usually a modern novel, but occasionally a classic or non-fiction book. This is followed by a general discussion which everyone joins in and puts forward their opinions. Ideally we will all have read the book and had time to think about it, but we know that this is not always possible and we welcome those who come to hear other members' views. After a break for tea, books for future meetings are discussed and chosen by popular agreement.

We obtain most of our books from Maidenhead Library in batches of ten from their Book Group Reading Scheme. Hence our membership is now set at ten.
