In conversation with...

Hello Everyone, we hope that you have had a happy and peaceful Christmas time and may we wish you all the very best for the New Year.  Thank you for all your support in attending First Thursday events during our autumn season.  We had a fab time and many of you were kind enough to say how much you enjoyed the evenings, which we love to hear.  We are a not for profit enterprise.  Our aim is to build community through love of books, and we use any surplus to support writerly activities in our local area. Last year we were able to make a donation to both Stroud Book Festival and to Voices Gloucester.  Your attendance makes this possible.

 We are excited to announce a fabulous Spring Season, and hope that you will find something here to spark your interest.  This newsletter is our first announcement of the spring season and so, by being a subscriber, you have the chance to get your tickets before anyone else.  First Thursday Painswick events regularly sell out, so don’t delay if there is something here that you would like to come to.  Also, if you want to get ahead with your reading all the books for the coming season are available to buy at Handmade In on Bisley Street, Painswick.

Thanks for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you in the New Year!
