How does it work? The Guildford Book Group meets once a month to discuss books and socialise in Guildford Surrey. The books are chosen by a vote, from nominations by the members. Come along, share your favourite book, or simply the one you're currently reading with other people. The meetings are on a Tuesday and Wednesday evening at the end of each month. We’ve been meeting since 2003 Where do we meet? We always meet in a public venue rather than members' homes as some book groups do. This is a …

Hello Everyone, I've started this book club because I'd like to read a bit more and also meet some new people. I've never been in a book club before so the first meeting may involve winging it a bit :-) I think we can all look forward to meeting new people and discovering some books we might never have otherwise picked up. The group is primarily aimed at 25 to 45 year olds who enjoy reading books that typically appear in top 100 lists. We may do a few classics however the aim is to enjoy rather …

Although called Caversham Critics, this book group is open to all friendly Reading based fiction lovers. We shall explore old and modern classics, contemporary fiction, and perhaps even pretend to be judges by comparing our notes on the shortlists for the big literary prizes.

The heart of this project is a focus on the importance of fairy tales as a creative force both in literature and culture. Literary fairy tales can be seen, in terms of genre, to mediate between, on the one hand, folktales, from which they often derive both form and content; and on the other, the more elaborate narratives of full-blown fantasy novels. The Centre will provide a forum where writers and scholars from various disciplines can discuss folk narratives, fairy tales and fantasy works, bot …

This group is for local people who want to enjoy activites locally, as well as further afield. If there is something you want to try, an event you want to go to or something you've always wanted to learn then suggest a meetup and take part with a group of likeminded people.

Hi girls! I recently moved to Basingstoke after moving around quite a few times and sadly losing touch with old school friends and old colleagues. I would love to meet some new friends to enjoy meals out, cinema visits, activity days and nights out! There is so much to do around here and we could plan some day trips when the weather gets better too. There is a great girls group based in Reading which is sadly a bit too far for me to drive each time. There seems to be a lack of good classes in Ba …
