New Group Suggestions

At the recent Open Day, a number of new groups were suggested:

History

Creative writing suggested by Vanessa Tailby-Bates

Botanical illustration suggested by June Alexander

An Explorers group for trips to properties such as National Trust

Try your hand craft group - idea is to choose a new craft

We would need to scope these in more detail, but if anyone is interested, please let Karen know. When we determine level of interest, we can work on the details.

Monday Social Bridge - new members needed

Mary Ireland reports: "the group currently has only 7 members so we would welcome a few more people to join us - we don’t play any complicated bridge!  We meet 2-4pm at 19, Links Road (sometimes in other players’ homes) and there is no charge - but you do get to enjoy home-made biscuits and a cuppa."

New Bridge Group

Joyce and Clive Huntley are establishing a new Beginners’ Bridge group.

It is planned to take place on Thursday mornings at their house.

They have a few people interested and are open to more takers.

If you are interested to learn how to play bridge with others in a friendly, sociable way, contact Joyce and Clive on clive@huntley22.plus.com

Joyce and Clive are well-practiced at teaching bridge, having successfully done so for 3 other K&D u3a groups.

Poetry

From Carol Townend:

The Poetry Group will be looking at the work of Billy Collins, an American poet who was American Poet Laureate for a time and is a highly distinguished professor of Literature.

We now have a new programme for 2026 which includes 6 poets to study and 6 sessions based on themes or on members’ own choices. 

We remain full and therefore closed but would be happy to add anyone interested to a waiting list, or support someone who was willing to set up a new Poetry group.
