Welcome to the Evening Book Club page…..we have recently started the evening book club - do join us for an evening of good chat and great company. 

When: 3rd Wednesday of each month
Next meeting:17 September 2025
Time: 7.30 pm - 9.30pm
Place: RIYC Drawing Room
Book: You are here by David Nicholls

We are all part of choosing the books we would like to read. So come with some suggestions of any particular books on your ‘To read lists’ and we can all agree on what we would like to collectively read and discuss and add them to the list below. We would like to carry on with this book club through the summer months if there is interest. If you would like to be added to the Book Club whatapp group, please email Vasantha on [email protected].

We will send out a few questions ahead of the book club for all to think about to help get the conversation flowing.....but here are a few:
1. Did you enjoy the read?
2. Would you recommend this author? Have you read any other books by this author?
3. Was the story well developed and the characters believable?
4. Was it relatable?
5. Favourite character and why?
6. Score out of 10

Looking forward to seeing you at the next meeting!
