Book discussion groups

The Group Organiser's details are given in each monthly Newsletter. BCWA members are active readers! At present we have three lively book discussion groups, one in Paris and two in the banlieue.

The Paris group meets in various cafés in Paris, usually in the afternoon of the third or fourth Monday of each month.

The West of Paris book discussion group meets in members' homes on the second Tuesday of each month. Each member of the group selects a book in September and then hosts the meeting during which the book she chose is discussed. She also serves a light lunch.

The Paris and suburbs book discussion group meets on the second Wednesday of the month. Here again, the meetings take place in members' homes for lunch and discussion.

Bridge Groups

The Monday Bridge Group is a relaxed and friendly group that meets at various members' homes in and around Paris. There’s always a tea break with cakes and biscuits but, on special occasions, something stronger is served. We’d love to welcome new members so please get in touch!"

The Thursday Beginners’ Bridge Group plays at Marys' home every Thursday morning.

Forest Walkers

A small group meets throughout the year every Monday morning at one of two locations in the forest of Saint Germain-en- Laye. We meet at 9.20 am and arrive back about 10.30 am. We would gladly welcome some new walkers. If you are interested please contact Elspeth .

Mahjong

Join us every Thursday at 1.30pm for this very popular game. All levels are played at once but it is fun and we have a chance to chat and have refreshments too.

We meet in a different members' home each week

Details of contact information are in the Newsletter.

Needlecraft

The Needlecraft group is a joint activity with the Women’s International Club ( Le WIC de Paris), so there are members from both groups. The only “qualifying requirement “ to join is that you bring along some work involving “needles”. This can be any form of sewing, such as patchwork, cross-stitch, embroidery, tapestry work, etc. Knitting or crochet is also welcome as these, of course, also use “needles”. 

At various times, members have been making curtains, altering hems on skirts or trousers, making Christmas decorations...or even working on a Portuguese tapestry carpet!

The group meets every Wednesday from 11am till around 5pm, meeting in each other’s homes, where the hostess of the day provides a light lunch. Those who wish to can also finish off the day with a gin and tonic. We are a friendly group and would be very pleased to welcome new members.

Points of View - The BCWA's discussion group

Monthly meeting at Member's home.
It's well known - a good laugh does wonders for one's well being, but then so does a rousing argument. Once a month join us between 5 pm and 7 pm over a drink just for that.

See Newsletter for host's name and meeting details.
