Book Club

Hi all-what great turnout for the first Cale Green WI book club! 

I meandered down Shaw Heath to The Florist thinking I would be sat alone for a while awaiting everyone's arrival and I walked in to a lovely greeting of familiar faces! Thanks all for coming! 

We have made a collective decision, suggested by Judith Beckett that we pick 2 books per month so that we have a choice!

 You can read one or both and then just feedback on the one(s) you've read! Some books have little guides for reading groups so we can either use these of freewheel....see how we are feeling! 

This months books are (picked a random!).....

1. Gone Girl - Gillian Flynn
2. Her last tomorrow - Adam Croft

The next meeting is Thursday April 21st at 8:30pm in The Florist.

Fab to see you all....enjoy your reading and see you in a month!

Tues 15th March - Gardening Sub Group

The first gardening sub group meeting happens this Tuesday morning at ten. If anyone else wants to join in, please pm me.

Background
My friend and I have a garden that is opened up to charity in July. This year it will be to raise money for Help the Aged. 

If you would like to volunteer to help in my own garden on Garners Lane and/or a friends garden in Woodsmoor, please let me know.

In return you will get training (I have a City & Guilds Amenity Horticulture and Kew Diploma) and plants. Initially I had seven people showing interest.

Thank you
Jude
