At our July and August 2025 meetings we selected our reads for the next year or so. Each member suggested three possible options, from which the rest of the group agreed on one. This way, every member of the group was involved in the process.

In February 2025, local author, Andrew Raymond, attended our meeting. One of Andrews's books, 'The Bonnie Dead' was our group's first read and a number of us have gone on to buy many of his other books. In a lively Q&A session, Andrew gave us a real insight into the life of a writer.
