[more] 08/01/2008 Kelso Library Readers GroupOur meeting on Tuesday of this week was on favourite poems. Six people out of eleven had selected poems to read...the other five had either forgotten or had not been aware of the meeting's topic. Anyway there were some good poems, some concerned with war. We discussed why the poems read were chosen and it was interesting to note that some said it depended on the time of year...such as H ...

[more] 30/05/2008 Kelso Library readers Group meeting 29th April 2008Another good turnout for the readers group, eleven people in all. We all appeared to have been reading a lot...a variety of books. The two books Ruth had managed to get for us i.e. The Thirteenth Tale and The Bedroom Secrets of the Master Chefs had not been read by all yet, so we are just hanging on to them until more people can catch up. However the people who had read the Thirteenth Tale ei ... [more] 01/05/2008 Meeting 26th February 2008A meeting was held on Tuesday 26th February in Kelso Library, when we had a good turnout. Roll on summer time and we could sit outside. We could not get any further with "The Historian" as some people had still not read it all (including me) so we just talked about "other" books we had read. This can be very il ... [more] 08/03/2008 Kelso Library Readers Group meeting 25th March 2008On the last Tuesday of this month (March) we had ten members who came along, plus a variety of reading material. The books we had hoped to get from the Library were unavailable but Ruth says she will keep trying. Most people at the meeting did not think much of Map of Bones, it seemed to be a weak copy of a Bond book or some such story. "The Historian" fared little better so w ...

[more] 04/02/2008 Kelso Library Readers Group meeting 27th NovemberI am very pleased to tell you that fifteen people turned up at the meeting. As usual we spoke of the books we had been reading recently. The books we had been given by the Innerleithen Library group (which meant we could all, more or less read them at the same time) was a great success, and although we could not discuss them fully as some members were still reading them "The March" ...

Ten members attending, including four new ladies, who were very welcome. This is NOT a women’s group and more individuals of the male persuasion would make for a better balance in the opinion of one member of the group. Apologies were sent from Ivy, Isabel and Ken, Janet and Moyra. As usual Ivy’s at ... [more] 02/11/2007 Kelso Library Readers Group 25th September 2007Welcome back to our Readers' meetings!

Mary had just returned from Australia where she had been visiting her family and Pat, Isobel and Ken were still away.

[more] 26/06/2007 Kelso Library Readers Group Meeting 24th April 2007Today seven of us turned up, with apologies from May and Janet. Janet had sent word that she had been reading "The Woman in White" by Wilkie Collins and had found it very difficult to "get into" but she had persevered and by the end she was enjoying it. Good for Janet. Pat had read "The Moonstone" earlier another Wilkie Collins classic and had enjoyed that. ...

I had been invited to attend a special U3A meeting of readers groups in Edinburgh. There were representatives from about 18 other groups from various parts of Scotland, all with plenty to say.

The poem read was “My Last Duchess”, this was a success with some agreeing it was a better poem than the “Lady of Shallot” Perhaps because it was a more believable story, a jealous husband annoyed if his lady looked at anyone else and settling it all wit ...
