Book Club
The Penguin Club Book Club meets on the second Tuesday of each month. We generally meet in The County Arms on Castle Hill, but this can vary if Club members are involved in a show at the time or if we decide to discuss this month's book over a nice meal, so follow the link to the event in the table below to double-check the location. Everybody is welcome to attend, whether or not you've had a chance to read the book!
All Club members can review the books and give them a rating - click on a title to see what other readers thought...
