April Newsletter 2020


I hope you are all keeping safe & busy. Seems like a good time to do a spring clean !



There is not a lot of news. Below a list of the new books which will be in the library some day



If the Comédie du Livre takes place (pretty unlikely as it is normally held about the third weekend in May) one of the guest authors is Jonathon Coe.



The Foal Annual General Meeting will take place on Saturday 20 June. It is also the excuse to have a meal together sitting round our friend Anne Marie’s pool. (She has kindly accepted to host again this year).



I hope you have all got plenty to read although you must be running out by now.
