Book Club 2

Status:Active, open to new members
Group email: Book Club 2 group
When: Monthly on Monday afternoons
First Monday of Month
Venue: Royal Oak Pub

We had more book enthusiasts than would fit into a single group, so we duplicated what we offer in this area. Started up in March 2025, our Book Club 2 meeting arrangements are similar to our original Book Club 1 group, but with meetings on the First Monday of the month, from 13:30 to 15:00.

The meeting venue is the Royal Oak Hotel, on Standishgate, WN1 1XL, just on the northern edge of the town centre. Coffees etc. can be ordered and paid for at the bar, and the helpful staff will usually deliver them to our meeting table to save any waiting around. At this time, it's usually after the lunchtime rush and the pub has 3 separate rooms and several large tables, so we can generally find a reasonably quiet corner to settle ourselves into.

Not a very original name; maybe it should be "Book Club - The Sequel"; any suggestions welcome. The two groups will work quite separately, with the two different sets of book selections made by group members as we go...
