Come and join the
EuroMayenne Reading Group
We share a love of books !
This new 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 in this new venture.

NEXT MEETING: on THURSDAY 26 April at 2:30.
Note change of day/date just on this one occasion!
