The theme of “Songs from the Shows” at our March Singalong was enjoyed by all.
At our next session in April we will be celebrating the King’s upcoming Coronation – in song and a short film.
In May the theme will be Eurovision Songs!
Remember
Keeeeep Singing!
22 of us braved the wet weather for a 7 mile walk around Rolleston and Fiskerton. After an hour or so the rain eased off and the sun tried its best to warm us as we had coffee at the Southwell Racecourse. As we continued, the going was definitely “soft” and one of the walkers had a muddy slip, narrowly avoiding a lie down in a puddle.
After lunch at the side of the River Trent the sun definitely showed itself as we headed back to the Southwell Garden Centre and post walk refreshments in Southwell.
Well done to the ten brave, hardy, souls that managed to make the March meeting due to snowy weather. While you were experiencing some snow here I was wading through piles in Tromso, Norway. A huge thank you to Liz who held the fort admirably, delivering the work on basic introductions in French and a light hearted quiz. I am reliably informed it was fun!!
Our next meeting continues in French with a crossword and further vocabulary and conversation on Thursday 13th April at 10.30 am in the John Godber Centre Byron suite. Please bring along any French sheets you already have which may be useful, plus the extra I will send out to members in due course.
New members are always welcome. This is basic foreign languages to ‘get by’ when visiting another country on holiday. It is not an in-depth course. If that is what you want there are plenty to access on line, but you usually have to subscribe to them.
We hope to see you in April.

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.

We started the walk in East Leake at the Three Horseshoes public house, where the landlady had kindly let us park.
The March walk was 8.58 miles in length; we walked over the West Leake hills from East Leake, a circular walk. The way was easy and through field tracks and country roads, no mud thankfully.
Affording stunning views of Nottingham and the Trent valley. It was an easy walk at a steady pace and was made all the more rewarding as the weather was kind to us with the Sun shining for all of the walk. We finished off with a good pint of beer in the Three Horseshoes.
