Reading Groups

Readers' groups offer an opportunity for people to get together and discuss their reading. They can be whatever you want them to be, from high-brow literature discussion to reader centred groups that discuss how a book was for you. For more information on Readers' groups call Punam Ramchurn on 0161 770 8016 or email punam.ramchurn@oldham.gov.uk
