When did it start?
The first meeting was held on Thursday 27 September 2007. The
session was hosted by local author Maureen Wills talking about
writing and publishing her two books - Chronicles of Ringshall and
Dragons of Honeysuckle Valley. Since then there has been a
variation of activities including talks on first aid, computing,
poetry, massage, ancestry and personal safety.
At Home Library Service Reading Group
This friendly group is for all older people, including users of
the
At Home Library Service and their carers, families or volunteer
visitors. We offer a stimulating and varied programme of books and
topics to read and discuss. The group meets on the first Tuesday of
every month from 10:30am - 11:45am.
Please feel free to drop in on our next meeting which will take
place on Tuesday 7 October. We will be discussing our reading
aspirations and ideas for the group for the next year. This is your
group so please help us shape it to meet your needs - we look
forward to your company!
The group that's 'Full of Life'
In April 2008 the group, in partnership with other AHLS reading
groups in Suffolk, published a book called 'Full of Life'.
