CATCH-UP

Join our KENRIC online catch-up with Jan and Joanna for members and friends, old and new. A general chat in small groups about life, films, food, places, recommendations, daily wins, and anything else!

An especially warm welcome to any new members of KENRIC who would like to join us to say hello.

THEMED BOOK CLUB

Join Anna for our themed book club - running on the last Wednesday of the month. Each month there will be a theme ... we have chosen some themes for the first three but after that we will ask for ideas from the group. All attendees will get a chance to share their choice for the theme - why they chose the book, why they like it (or not) and the basics of the storyline. Attendees will then get a chance to ask questions.

So a chance to share and to learn about new books and authors.

Don't forget to bring your chosen book along to the meeting!
