JIGSAW PUZZLERS
Are you a keen puzzler? Do you usually have one on the go? If there is enough interest I will organise an inaugural meeting for a Jigsaw Puzzlers Group on Friday 27th February at Central Methodist Church at 10.30am. If you are interested come and put your name down in the refreshment room at the next main John Godber meeting on the 18th February.

Indoor meetings for the group are held at Central Methodist Church on Baker Street starting at 2pm and finishing about 4pm. It is an entrance fee of £2 please.
At our January meeting we learned a lot about writers who had links with Nottingham and entertainers like Ken Dodd and Morecambe & Wise who began their careers at the Nottingham Empire. I asked if Alex could supply us with his research notes for interest in the topic. He tells me a book by John Baird called ‘Following the Moon & Stars: A literary Journey Through Nottinghamshire’ is good or you could try researching at the library and online.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE DATE OF FEBRUARY MEETING this has been changed to February 25th, due to altered dates at John Godber Centre.
MORE CHANGES: Our speaker Ian Morgan has an unexpected hospital appointment and can’t make our meeting. What a shame. Instead I have brought forward the meeting we would be having in November – ‘Bring, Show and Tell’ when members Bring an Artifact/Item/Book, Show it and Tell us the story of why it is important to them. If you have something please mention it to me at the main meeting in John Godber on the 18th February, I’ll be in the refreshment room. For information – There is another meeting in the church on the 25th so the car-park might be a bit busy.
Kathy and Sue will be in the foyer taking names and money £12 for our visit in April to the National Memorial Arboretum. Money is for cost of coach only: Admission is free. The coach leaves Hucknall at 10.30am and leaves the Arboretum at 4pm.

Our Singalong group continues to be well attended, the theme of our last session was number one hits from the sixties and seventies chosen by one of our members.
Our finale of Bohemian Rhapsody was worthy of Britain’s Got Talent!!
Our next theme is to be decided but we think we’re due a session of Folk Music!
We meet at St Peter and St Paul’s Church Hall on the 3rd Tuesday of the month.
Despite heavy rain and overcast skies, six hardy walkers boarded the tram to Nottingham to alight at Gregory Street and follow the course of the canal back to London Road. A coffee stop at Hopkinsons was a well needed break before our tram ride home.
Thanks to those who attended!
Heavy rain and dull skies forced us to abandon our planned walk at Papplewick and visit Brooke Farm for coffee instead.
Better luck next time!
