An Alternative Christmas Greeting suggestion

A group of our members have suggested an alternative to writing and exchanging Christmas Cards between u3a friends.

The suggestion is that, instead, we each make a donation towards the joint u3a /John Godber Centre defibrillator fund.

If you wish to do this a collection point will be in the John Godber Centre hall at the Christmas lunch on Monday 6th December 2021 and at the film on Wednesday, 8th December

Thankyou

Fun with Languages

Our November meeting continued a mixture of revision and moving on with Ma France.

We then split into small groups for some role play on what we had watched on the videos. This had a mixed response and lots of laughs!!! To sum up, we all need more conversational practice to build up confidence again after the long period of lockdown zooms. But we will get there!

Our December meeting consists of drinks, nibbles, fun and music as we hope for safe and happier times for us all and for the world in 2022.

Our first meeting of the new year will be on Thursday 13th January, 2022 at 10.30 am in John Godber Centre. New members welcome.

Joyeux Noel, Liz et Ann xxxxx

Medicine Blister packs

Thank you to all our u3a members who made a brilliant start in collecting medicine blister packs.

Regretfully, the pharmacies that were part of this recycling project are no longer collecting the packs so please do not bring us any more. Many thanks.

Discussion Group

Our monthly discussion group has now restarted its meetings at 1.45 pm within the John Godber Centre, Ogle Street, Hucknall. Normally we meet on the first Monday of each month excepting Bank Holiday Mondays .

There will be no meeting in December or January therefore the next meeting will be 7th February, 2022.

More u3a members will be made welcome. Please contact Christine via the contact form below:-

    Choir

    No news is not good news in this instance, I continue trying to interest someone with the necessary skills to guide the choir, but so far without success. I’ll carry on, because we can’t return to practise yet, so I may as well!

    Please pass on the word if you can, we are not of a standard to need expert tuition, but we will need someone to play for us. The NG15 has not come out yet, which has a wider circulation, so we may yet be lucky, and they’ll be lucky too, we’re a lovely group, and it could be a super, fulfilling interest for someone with the musical knowledge and a little time to give.

    On the other hand, I haven’t heard any bad news, so assume everyone is well and in good spirits. Please bear the needs of the choir in mind, we’d love to be able to get back together when we can.

    Thank you

    Christine
