Unfortunately, the May London Branch Book Club has been cancelled due to tube strikes. The next event will continue as normal in June.
The ESU London Branch Members’ book club meets once a month at Dartmouth House to exchange views on a book chosen by the group. Discussions take place from 11.00-12.30hrs on the third Wednesday of each month. If you would like to join our friendly and informal club please contact Kathleen Earley on [email protected]
