A Book Worm report from Rebecca

 We had a good time at bookworms this morning. We discussed The Island by Victoria Hislop (enjoyed by everyone) and The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern which only one of us finished as it wasn't enjoyed.

We found out there is a follow up to the Island called One August Night which we'll all be looking for.

Other booked and authors recommended The Nightingal

by Kristen Hannah, Robert Galbraith, Harlen Coben and American Dirt by Jeannir Cummins. We're a fun group and have spaces avaliable if you think you'd like to join us. Every second Wednesday of the month. Let me know if you'd like to come along. 

Here is Rebecca on the left (with Hilary) in case you are not sure who she is and you would like to join her Book Worms!

Dick Whittington

A small, select and perfectly formed group from Brixham WI went to the Dick Whittington panto at the Palace theatre in Paignton. Oh yes we did! And we had a brilliant time! The show was excellent! We did a lot of cheering, booing and joining in - and did actually draw the attention of the players, who noticed us shouting about Brixham! Thank you, Lynn Asher for organising and to Jayne Stone for driving three of us there.

Are you interested in seeing Aida in Torquay 12th April? Please let me know!
