Thirteen members of the Growing old disgracefully group had a taster session of lawn bowling at the Titchfield park bowling green on Wednesday 4th June. Everyone enjoyed the experience and would like to thank members of the bowling club who supported them on their session.
A second group will have a taster session on 2nd July.

The second group to visit The Mary Potter Heritage Centre enjoyed an afternoon learning about Mary Potter and her life’s work, both in this Country and abroad.
If you should get the chance to visit – do, it’s well worth it!
A group of ladies from the GOD Group enjoyed a visit to the Mary Potter Heritage Centre, situated in the park.
We were made very welcome and learned about Mary Potter and her work helping the poor and unwell both in Nottingham and around the world. The centre is well worth a visit.
Tea and biscuits rounded the afternoon off.
In October thirteen members of the group attended an Autumn Wreath Making Workshop at Floral Media in Caunton, near Newark.
We travelled in the Ravenshead Community minibus for the afternoon workshop.
Paula, the business owner demonstrated the basics and then we set to on our own creations. The two-hour session went very quickly and the tea/coffee and homemade cake was an added bonus!
Everyone enjoyed the session and we think we’ll arrange to attend their Christmas Wreath Making workshop next year!

July 26th saw 16 brave ladies follow in the footsteps of the Not So Grumpy Old Men with a day at The Adrenaline Jungle.
We had a great day playing Sterling Moss and Robin Hood. One lady managed a bull’s eye in the archery, the others not so fortunate, some hitting the backdrop sheet, a little more practice is needed there, I think!
The blindfold driving was full of drama, with the driver being reliant on their team to direct them using alternate words for right and left, whilst driving on winding forest pathways and avoiding slalom poles, trees, bushes ditches, etc. Great fun.
The event was finished off in the usual U3A way with food at the White Post.
