Choir Group

We haven’t had a speedy response to our request for either a volunteer musical director or accompanist, and can’t meet again until we do, so we have therefore spread our net wider. Siobhan is making enquiries, but there is also a request on the u3a Facebook page, and those choir members on Facebook have been asked to include the information on their own pages.

Would you bear our need in mind, and think of mentioning it on your own pages, please? Your help would be appreciated, volunteers could come from anywhere, and obviously the more we spread the word, the better our chance of recruiting someone. It entails a commitment of four, enjoyable, hours each month, with a little forward planning. If you know of anyone who may be interested please let them know, they can contact me, via the form below, for any information they need to help them decide if they’d like to join us. No pressure!

Thank you,
Christine

    Real Ale Group

    Time to get started again, you will be aware that we are having our normal u3a monthly meeting at 2.00 pm on Wednesday, 8th September, 2021 at the John Godber Centre, when we will be able to have a chat about our future Real Ale group outings, so please come with some ideas.

    To kick off, we will be having our first Real Ale get-together (in 18 months) on Wednesday, 15th September, meeting at Wetherspoon’s Pilgrim Oak, in Hucknall at 7.00 pm, moving on as appropriate. Hoping to see as many as possible.

    Our second outing will be to the renowned Robin Hood Beer and Cider Festival, which is being held at the cricket ground this year. We will be going on Thursday, 14th October, meeting at the tram station at 3.30 pm. Travel by tram to Midland Station, then bus to Trent Bridge, so bring your tram/bus pass.

    The cost this year is £10, (£20 on Friday & Saturday) which includes 9 beer tokens. However, no glasses this year, as they will be on loan using previous years’ glasses. Not sure if we get any extra if in CAMRA, but bring your membership card in case. You will need to purchase your ticket beforehand to ensure entrance. Again, hoping as many as possible can make it.

    Fun with Languages

    We enjoyed a lovely fine social evening in August; so great to see people ‘in the flesh’ as it were. This group has voted to go down to two languages at the moment, the choice being Spanish and French. If this means that you do not want to come to the group, can you please let me know in order to keep lists up to date. If new members wish to join, you are most welcome.

    Our next meeting on Thursday, 9th September, 2021, will be at John Godber Centre at 10.30 am in the Byron suite. Please come in masks and do NOT come if you are unwell in any way please. Masks may be removed if you wish, when seated. We shall have a chat, role plays and begin French once more.

    Hope to see you then.

    Best wishes,
    Ann & Liz x
