Thanks to Steve for sending through details of this new reading group. In his own words. Ed
A new book club/reading group is planned in Shanklin.
Eclectica is open to all and as the name suggests encourages a mixed group with a range of reading tastes.
The only qualification to join is that you enjoy a good read (and sometimes a bad one), are open to try different genres and enjoy discussing what you’ve read in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere, maybe over a glass or two.
Members choose the reading list
Unlike many other groups there is no common theme nor is there a reading list to work through. Instead, book selections are proposed and chosen by members.
They could be personal favourites, classics you felt you should have read or the latest best-seller. Books are chosen as far in advance as possible to allow members time to source the material.
Month meetings
Meetings take place once a month and members are encouraged to host meetings although this is not possible for everyone and is by no means essential as a default venue is available. For practical reasons numbers must be limited so it’s first come, first served.
If you would like to join or find out more please email Steve at [email protected]
