Basically, it's about books
Next Meeting - Tues, 8th Dec
We're the Bardon Mill Book Club.
We're a group of people who like reading & talking about books. Most of us live in (or near) Bardon Mill, Northumberland, UK but some don't. You're welcome to join us, wherever you're from.
Each month, we choose to read a book and then meet up the next month to discuss it. If we can't make the meeting, we put our comments on the forum. This way, everyone can join in, even if they aren't in the area.
On this site you'll find out about us and the books we're reading at the moment.
Feel free to explore our site and join in the forums. If you're in the area, why not come along to one of our meetings. They're free and open to all.
We meet on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 8.00 p.m. at the Twice Brewed Inn, Military Road. If you're not sure where that is, try this -
