We did not meet in April as it was Good Friday.

The meeting on May 20th, 2022, will be led by John Tedstone who has been researching the various proposals to build the River Severn Barrage. There have been numerous proposed projects over the years, initially to provide a safe harbour and more recently to generate electricity. However it is yet to happen.

Please remember your mini talk (2 minutes max) on the women in science. Bob McEwen will lead this segment and Terry Hill may be making a guest appearance.

Short Walks

On April 21st, 2022, thirteen members walked the undulating circuit around Gedling Country Park. For eleven of the group this was a new experience and we were fortunate to have a fine clear day that enabled us to appreciate the extensive views from our lofty position.

Our next walk, on the 19th May, will be led by Phil and Liz Attenborough. The route will be along the Nottingham/Erewash Canal at Langley Mill. The meeting point is on Linkmell Road, Langley Mill, next to the Great Northern Pub. This is a pleasant walk, approximately four miles along the canal. More details nearer the time.

Table Tennis Group

Dusting off skills almost learned by members several decades ago, the new table tennis group began in April. With expert coaching for those who can play and even better coaching for the most of us who can’t, the group meets at United Reform Church, off Farleys Lane, 2:30 to 4:30pm every Wednesday (except monthly meeting day). Weapons provided, just bring refreshments.

Real Ale Group

On April 7th, 2022, a group of us met in The Pilgrim’s Oak, a Wetherspoons pub in Hucknall, to sample a few different beers during their mini beer festival.

On May 19th we are meeting at the tram station and journeying into Nottingham to alight at the Weekday Cross stop and sample the beers around Hockley. Unfortunately, our proposed visits to a display and talk at Nottingham University have had to be cancelled so we are looking at new proposals – always welcome!

In July we will be going to the far off village of Linby to a couple of the group’s house and praying for good weather. We will be having a ‘BEER-B-QUE’ sampling some home brewed beer. If any member would like to join us then we are open to both male and female members.
