Book Club 22nd December 2025

Our online Book Club provides us with a different form of networking as well as an opportunity to learn. New members are always welcome.

We usually meet on Zoom from 12-1 on the fourth Monday of each month.

This month’s book club read

Our December read is Unlikely to Unstoppable by Jennifer Collins and Elizabeth Clarke

Feel free to bring your lunch to the meeting and don’t forget to think of a book we might like to read in the future.

Usually we choose a title nominated by a member. Our aim is to choose books that will be useful to us in business but not necessarily business books. We’ll then have that month to read the chosen book ready to discuss at the next meeting. All members are welcome to join us. There are no attendance rules but, if we need it, priority in terms of book choices will be given to titles favoured by the most regular attenders.
