Books, Writing & Film

The Writers Workshop

Have you ever written down your dreams? Would you like to turn your experiences into stories or poetry? Do you love to write? The Writers Workshop is for any Club member interested in pursuing the art of writing (in English). Assigned topics allow the writer to tell a story while sharpening technical skills, style and voice in fiction, non-fiction and poetry. One Friday morning a month.

Film Club

Join us once a month to watch a movie with other club members in a local cinema followed by discussion of the movie over a glass of wine or a coffee in a nearby café. We will choose movies either in English or with English subtitles that are screening on a Monday afternoon or early evening depending on showtimes.

Book Discussion Groups

Come join one of our book discussion groups to meet women who enjoy reading and sharing their views on a wide range of books. Once a month on a Thursday morning and Thursday evening.
