Known as the Cosmic Ravensbourne Readers, the Shadowing group met for the last time on Tuesday, 10th July. As well as discovering books they wouldn't normally choose, learning about real-life historical events and different ways of writing, the group enjoyed being able to express their opinions in a relaxed and friendly environment over a biscuit and a drink. As a thank you for taking part, everyone received a certificate, bookmark, chocolate and a free book of their choice.
