Reading
Come and join the
EuroMayenne Reading Group
We share a love of books !
This EuroMayenne group is for members to get together each month to discuss a book that they have all just read.
It will encourage you to read more books and books that you might not normally choose.
The reasons that people give for joining a reading group include reading a wide variety of books, making friends, having fun, meeting like-minded people and stimulating the brain cells!
So please come and join us for our fourth year in this venture.
******************************
All dates are subject to current Government and Local Authority restrictions regarding Coronavirus Covid-19 and subject to change or cancellation.
