A NEW book club has been launched in Newquay for people who are visually impaired.

The first session of the Visually Impaired Persons Book Club was held at Newquay library on Thursday, September 18, which was attended by seven people with sight loss and three sighted helpers. The group is choosing a different book every month from the RNIB Talking Book Library and then discussing the title the following month.

Participants will need to be over the age of 18 and have a print disability, which can be anything from dyslexia through to total blindness.

The next session will run on Saturday, October 16. There are places available for any visually impaired person living in Newquay. The sessions will be held every third Thursday of each month.
