Ladies Night Out

Seven members of the Forncett Reading Group decided that we didn’t have to wait for Christmas to have a night out, and so we met at The Boars in Spooner Row for a summer celebration.  Unfortunately three other members were unable to join us for various reasons, and they missed a really lovely evening.  Husbands were enlisted to be chauffeurs for the night, so we were able to have a tipple without too much concern.  We chatted at length about books and more books and about the world in general and Forncett in particular.  One of our number, who had been adopted at a very early age, enthralled us with the story of how she has recently traced her birth family and has met up with them very successfully.  We listened to the tale and encouraged our friend to write her book – truth is so often stranger than fiction. 

We all agreed that the evening had been a great success and should be repeated as often as our purses will allow.  Roll on Christmas!

The Reading Group is full, but if you are interested in forming a second group in our area, please contact April Carlin who will be happy to help you.  Contact details are on the back page of this publication.
