The
Rusland Valley Reading Group (12 people) meets monthly and reads a wide
range of books from short stories to climbing books, classical novels to
biography. We want to encourage others to do the same, but feel that 12 is
the maximum number of people that can hold one discussion - so if you are
interested, there's no reason why Rusland shouldn't have more groups!
Bouth has recently started up a reading group - contact Maggie Dryden if
interested.
The RVRG meets on the third Thursday of the month at 8.00p.m. over wine
and snacks....
