Our monthly book club meets next on Wednesday 13 July a week at the Wellington Club Level 6 - 5.15 pm for 5.30 start, running through till 7pm.
Theme this month is crime writing so bring along your latest thriller to discuss. Want to learn about Bitcoin and the crypto world?
Dr Rosy Fenwicke's book Cold Wallet is a suggested title to read. A thriller about a cryptocurrency exchange and a business partner cut out of the Will by the deceased co-owner.
Can't make book club but curious about what to read over the winter?

- Cry the Beloved Country by Alan Paton - famous South African classic
