We held a lively Barn Dance on 20^th September as part of our annual programme of events.

Over 70 members enjoyed trying to follow the instructions for the dance sequences helpfully provided by Emma who was our music provider and dance caller for the evening.

Under Starters Orders

and off they go.

It was an active evening and the dancers enjoyed a deserved mid way break for top quality pie, peas, mash and gravy provided and served by Barlow’s Butchers.

Our appreciation and thanks to Emma , Barlows and to the duty staff at JGC.

Wednesday 23^rd October – The Elusive and Dangerous North West Passage with guest speaker Mr Ralph Lloyd Jones

Wednesday 20^th November –The Hucknall u3a Silver Screen Entertainment Afternoon

Monday 2^nd December – The Christmas Lunch with professional entertainment

On Friday 21st June we held a games night. This format was part of our aim to provide something different to previous social events and to vary the type of activities that we plan and organise. We have around 500 members and we understand that the music focused events do not appeal to everyone which is why the Games Evening came about.

Part 1 was competitive games in teams of 4.

The plan was that each team played every other team in a rotating circus of 9 activities.

There was much fun and laughter along the way and despite some teams going out of sequence it all worked out in the end. Scores were kept and added up to find the overall winning team.       

Following the team games there was an interval for a magnificent buffet

After the buffet to complete the evening we had 3 ‘Sticky 13’ card games and Quingo a 24 question Bingo style quiz.

Our thanks to the John Godber staff, to Cathy the caterer and all attendees.
