Each month there will be a theme. This time, appropriately for the run-up to KENRIC's annual Eastbourne Weekend, the theme is The Seaside.

Attendees will have a chance to share their choice for future themes, as well as why they chose the book, why they like it (or not) and a summary of the storyline. There will also be the opportunity to ask questions.
