The University of Leeds Ladies' Club
Summer 2026
Dear Ladies,
Please see below, for the details of our next Meeting.
The University of Leeds Ladies' Club warmly invites all Members, and Guests, to attend our next Meeting,
on Thursday 21st May at 1:30pm.
"A Celebration of Books and Reading".
To be held in the Main Lounge, at The Headingley Golf Club, Back Church Lane, Adel, Leeds. LS16 8DW. NB.
Please note that due to a Golf Event, our meeting will be held in the Main Lounge, on this occasion.
As introduced in our March Newsletter, the session will act as the ULLC's contribution to support this year's "National Year Of Reading" . I have signed us up, as a supporting organisation, and am keen to highlight the many ways in which our Members champion reading, eg. Our Book Groups (see Home page) as Volunteers in Charity Bookshops, Volunteer Reading Support in schools, as writers, and published authors, and, of course, as avid readers, who share, swap and donate books. I am sure there are many more examples to explore.
I would love to hear from you, if you are a Reading Champion, an author, or, just as importantly, a Member who can't come to our meeting, but would like to share their thoughts with us. Please email me, to allow us all to make this a really inclusive celebration..
We can look forward to an enjoyable, relaxing, afternoon, listening to some short presentations by Members who are involved in book themed activities. There will be also be the opportunity to chat, informally, at your tables, about your favourite reads, and authors, so do bring along a pen and paper, to jot down ideas.
Leeds City Libraries are encouraging readers to Recommend A Read, by completing one of their National Year of Reading 2026 promotion cards. "Tell us about your favourite read, and we will share it". The card records Author, Title, and asks Why did you enjoy it?" Completed cards are scattered around the Library shelves, to inspire readers. It would be lovely if everyone who comes along could complete a card. We will make sure there are cards available, on the day. We can also complete cards on behalf of those who can't attend. Just send me your book details.
Everyone who attends is invited to take part in a Book Swap. Just bring along a book, to participate.
If you would like to do so, there will also be a Donation Box, to collect any voluntary donations you would like to make, to St. Gemma's Hospice. Speaking with Tina Irving, earlier this year, we agreed that St. Gemma's is such a wonderful local resource. We thought that a small gesture of our support, would be very welcome.
£9 per person, payable on the door. To include tea/Coffee, and pastries/scones.
Bookings should be made with Mrs. Moira Wallace, on email by the end of Thursday 14th May. This to allow time to pass on numbers to the Golf Club, for catering purposes.
Looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible, at our upcoming events.
Sending you all my best wishes,
Judith
