Want to join a bookclub?

The Potts Point Bookclub hosts meetings on the first and second Monday of each month at 6.30 pm, usually for about an hour. We now hold a meeting on the first Tuesday evening of each month as well. Join the mailing list to find out what we will be reading next.

Our common interest is books, so that's what we talk about, over a glass of wine. There's no need to make a commitment — if this month's book appeals, come along, but if not, come to the next month's meeting. And please do come if you read the book but didn't like it! A bit of disagreement always makes for lively discussion.

We usually read the Booker Prize winner in January and a Classic in June.
