Friendly group run by The Reader.  Come along and listen or join in with the group. The session is run by a trained Reader Leader,  who reads a great novel, short story or poem aloud. They then stop and talk about what has been read. There is no need for group members to read aloud or speak – it’s fine to just listen.
