Weekly meetings are held on Mondays in the caf\u00e9 at Pugh\u2019s Garden Centre at 11 am, and at 7pm on the second Thursday of the month in the bar of the Wenvoe Arms. Croeso i bawb. <\/em><\/p>\n Book Bags: <\/strong>We have some lovely grey canvas book\/shopping bags for sale in the library at \u00a35 each.<\/p>\n Off the Shelf <\/strong><\/p>\n Funny Girl <\/em>by Nick Hornby was an easy read. The story is set around Barbara Parker who fifteen minutes after winning Miss Blackpool of 1964 decided that becoming a beauty queen and remaining in Blackpool was not for her. Inspired by her television idol Lucille Ball, she headed for London, determined to make her mark as a comedian. After finding a job on a cosmetics counter in a London department store, she met a theatrical agent, Brian Debenham, who arranged an audition for a television sitcom pilot based around the domestic life of a newlywed couple Barbara (and Jim)<\/em>. Barbara changed her name to Sophie Straw and found stardom.<\/p>\n All the members of the ‘Off the Shelf ‘ were half way through the book before they realised that this was a true story. Although an amusing, easy read and for some, a trip down 1960’s memory lane, we did not want to invest too much in the characters as we felt that Hornby gave them little depth of personality. It was a superficial read that none of the group would recommend. Not a classic Hornby. 6\/10<\/p>\n Meet the Author <\/strong>welcomes David Simmonds, former BBC journalist and author.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Limerick competition.
