Book Club

New for 2021!

Welcome to the RFS Book Club

Over the coming months we will be talking to well-known authors about their books and inviting you to join in on line and ask the authors your questions.  We are aiming for a mix of topics to appeal to a wide readership and hope you will enjoy getting together to discuss a wide range of themes.

We will be giving you plenty of time to read each book and where possible we are arranging for a special book discount, available when you register for each event. Book Club is free to members but spaces are limited.

You do not need to ‘attend’ each meeting, but pick and choose those books that appeal to you.

To register for an event, follow the links below.
