How Much Does it Cost?
The club is £2.50 per month to cover running costs as well as a Zoom membership for the chats. I want this to primarily be a space where we can chat about books so I want to keep the price as reasonable as I possibly can!
If you decide to sign up for a year then you can for just £25 getting 2 months for free!
