The Hucknall u3a Drama Group is eager to welcome new members.

We are a small and friendly group who meet every 4th Friday of the month, 10-12 a.m. at a member’s house, which is close to the centre of Hucknall.

The sessions involve a mixture of play reading, drama workshops, monologues, and poetry with occasional performances when the opportunity arises.

If you have never been in a drama group before then that is fine, no previous experience is necessary. Similarly, if you are rekindling an old interest then your expertise will be of considerable value to us.

Please get in touch for further details and come and try out one of our sessions.

The March Reading Group will meet on Saturday, 4^th March when the February choice “Lord of the Flies” – William Golding – will be discussed. 

The choice for March is yet to be decided.

Due to several members’ illnesses there was no January Reading Group so we will be reviewing “A Step So Grave” by Catriona McPherson in February; this writer is reminiscent of Agatha Christie and was a Hucknall Library Crime Café choice.

We have planned the Reading Group book choices for 2023 which covered many different genre choices; hopefully the Library will be able to source sufficient copies for us; many thanks to James, librarian, for all his help in locating sufficient copies for us each month.

For January we will be reading Elly Griffiths’ The Stranger Diaries (another Crime Café book).

The John Godber Centre has had to cancel the Flower Arranging booking on the 6th February 2023 for the Beer Festival to go ahead. The Beer Festival is a real money spinner for the centre so it is understandable. Sorry for the short notice.

If you were going to come to the session as your first time can you please contact Siobhan, either by email or the contact form below, as she is trying to find an alternative venue but it is short notice.

December’s Flower Arranging Group met at Siobhan’s home to have a fun filled afternoon creating Christmas arrangements and eating birthday cake and cup cakes. A variety of arrangements were made ranging from door wreaths to table arrangements. It was a bit like where you see how many people you can fit in a mini but, as always with this group, everyone went home with a smile on their face and lovely items to grace their homes for the Christmas holidays.

The next meeting is February 6th, 2023 at the John Godber Centre 1.30 – 3.30 pm when the title is recycle and reuse. There are still spaces for new members.
