BOOKCLUB
When: Last Thursday of the month
Time: 8pm – 9.30pm
Where: Gallery Space, Upstairs in De Koffie Pot
Cost: Free
Book club (in association with The Academy) has been running since June 2016. Once a year the library issues us a list of books available. Each if us ticks the ones of interest to us. Each month the library then lends us a set of copies of the month’s book. We maintain a group journal in which we can write our comments on each book read and record an average score out of 10. Sometimes opinions and individual scores vary greatly which makes for all the more interest! Always a very relaxed gathering – no need to have finished or even to have read the book! Occasionally we have a club outing for a meal and a performance at the Courtyard.

AURA is for women who want more than just
business cards and sales pitches. It’s for women who are:
- Working hard in business
or employment and craving a supportive circle who understands the highs
and lows.
- Looking for balance
between professional success, personal wellbeing, and meaningful
relationships.
- Eager to connect with
like-minded women in a safe, welcoming, no-pressure environment.
- Ready to grow — in
confidence, community, and their own version of success.
Whether
you’re just starting out, well established, or somewhere in between, you’ll
find a holistic approach to growth here – some sessions focus on business
skills, others on personal wellbeing, giving you a mix that supports the whole
woman.
When you join our meetings, you’ll enjoy:
- A monthly meeting.
- A supportive WhatsApp
community to keep the conversation flowing between sessions.
- Guest speakers and themed
sessions to bring fresh ideas, skills, and inspiration (find details of
the upcoming sessions on our website)
AURA
isn’t just about networking. It’s about being part of a circle of women who
help you feel supported, motivated, and ready to thrive.
