Laying the foundations

We had started - the first meeting of this group of enthusiasts who would like to re-reading (and read for the first time) some of those books classed as classic children's book.  Thanks for your prompting, Barbara.

Barbara, Bronwyn, Yvonne and her son Ben all met at Barbara's home.  We compiled a list of books we would like to read (click me) or click on the link on the side of this blog.

We also tried to set some guidelines and come up with these...

  • Meetings are once every three weeks.
  • Barbara's home will be the focal point of the group at this stage.
  • We will select two books to read for the current 3 weeks, and select the books for the following three weeks as well.
  • If you feel so inclined, you are welcome to bring along a picture book or two to share.
  • Companionship is as important as discussion.
  • Visitors are welcome!
Doesn't it all sound like fun?
