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.

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.

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.
Our next Singalong is the 17th May, 2022.
We will be celebrating the Queens 70th Jubilee with fitting songs, some old, some new, some patriotic!
New members are welcome !
