WELCOME

Our Group runs four circles, writing, reading, poetry and theatre.

The first three meet during the academic term on the first, second and third Tuesday of the month respectively, with the occasional workshop, both writing and poetry.

On our Reading Circle page you will find a reference to Alison Weir, a historian and historical novelist whose work is known all over the world.  The Friends of Northampton Castle (FONC) are holding a book reading which Alison Weir will give in aid of FONC, whom she is keen to support. She will read from one of her books which has Northampton connections.

In addition to all this, the NLG Theatre Group runs probably the most pleasurable theatre trips several times a year, to places as far apart as London and Stratford, with an occasional trip to the opera or ballet for those who are interested.

We also run an international poetry competition each spring, and celebrate our activities with an annual dinner in the depths of winter.

If you live in Northamptonshire, you will find our leaflets in libraries around the county. Or you can contact our circle leaders via this website, or drop in on any of our meetings.

Membership is £10 a year, which entitles you to enjoy three of our circles*.

We meet at the University of Northampton, Park Campus, Boughton Green Road, 7.30 to 9.30 pm. Tol find us click on the two maps in the column on the left.

We are always happy to welcome new members. Our season begins in October, but join us any time.
