The Social Sub Committee’s latest function was a Quiz Night on Friday 23rd June at the John Godber Centre.

This was a catered event and  the evening started by maintaining our calorie intake with ‘Pie, Peas and Mash’.

There were 16 teams competing for the much coveted title of Hucknall and District u3a 2023 Quiz Winners.

Our Quizmaster and Quiz Setter for the evening was Bob McEwen.

Bob had put together an interesting mix of question types over several rounds and in the end it was a close run race for first place. A prize was also awarded for the best team name and for the strong team at the bottom holding up the rest.

At the end of the evening, when all the scores were in, the suspense was palpable.

The top 3 teams were:

1st3 Pairs!!98.0

Hog Roast Night

On Saturday, 17th September, 2022, 124 members of our u3a gathered at the John Godber Centre to be entertained by a two-man group called Footloose, who sang songs from the 60’s through to the more modern era, resulting in many adventurous souls getting onto the dance floor.

The Hog Roast was served with pork filled cobs with stuffing, scratchings and apple sauce, plenty of seconds with over 160 servings being consumed.

After this we were entertained by our very own Hucknall Ukulele Band with a variety of songs, many having audience participation.

Followed by a second showing of the group Footloose, a very good evening, well done to the Social Sub Committee.
