Book Fair – Friday 8 to Sunday 10 August 2014
We are still looking for books, this is an ideal opportunity to clear out those book shelves safe in the knowledge that they are likely to go to good homes. The Club will be holding a three-day book fair over the weekend of 8-10 August 2014. We will also be selling cakes, jams and other goodies and offering morning and afternoon tea. We might also have a bit of singing.
Thank you to all those that have already dropped books off at the Club.
