I do read a lot of books, listen to audiobooks when I can’t physically sit and read.As I do not have anyone to discuss the books feel i thought a group would be a very helpful.It will keep some of my time occupied with things I am passionate about.

Fat Cat Reading Group
A friendly book group for men is now accepting new members. We meet up on the 3rd Friday of every month, apart from August, usually at the Fat Cat, but occasionally at the Odd One Out or the Hospital Arms for discussion, drinks and a good time. Twice a year we even have a night out for a curry or go for a cycle and a chat in the Rose and Crown pub in Wivenhoe. Some of us even do some light exercise in the form of running, but that's completely optional! We explore a wide range of books, from 'The Fight' to 'Feet in the Clouds'. So why not come along to Butt Road, Colchester and join us!
