Fun with Languages

by WebmasterFun with LanguagesPosted on Comments are Disabled

Our August meeting continued in French with finding our way about town, ordering train or boat tickets etc. It also included a few practice sentences to translate and a crossword puzzle on places in France. To those on holiday I sent out the relevant worksheets earlier so you shouldn’t miss out on anything.

Please can you practise THE song for the Christmas presentation (date to be confirmed)

Our next meeting will be on Thursday, October 12th, at 10.30 am in John Godber C entre, Byron suite.

NO MEETING IN SEPTEMBER.                          

Hope to see you in October, if not before!     

Ann and Liz.

At our July meeting, Anne treated us to two delicious dishes, Halloumi and pistachio nut roast and vegetarian ‘sausage’ rolls! Here are some of our group getting ready to sample the Brie and cranberry parcels with our coffee. We are all looking forward to our next meeting!

The Hucknall watercolour group meets on the first Monday of the month except August and December, we meet at Titchfield court from 2.00-4.00pm

The group usually has an outdoor session in August, this year we went by kind permission to Beauvale Priory to paint different aspects of the priory ruins. It was a small group but they all produced work to be proud of.

After organising the u3a Lunch group for fourteen years, I will be retiring after the December Christmas lunch. I have thoroughly enjoyed organising the lunches and having your company on these occasions.

I am hoping someone will be interested enough to take over this role from January. There is a file of suggested lunches for 2024 together with all other arrangements such as the quiz etc and contacts to help a future organiser. It would be very sad if no-one felt able to step forward to take over. Please contact Sandra via the form below.

Long Walks

Our walk for August was in the Meden Vale, and very nice it was too. It was a pleasant walk of 8.5 miles which took us over surprisingly good paths considering all the rain we’ve had. Good field paths, quiet country lanes  and through woodland, a nice variety.  

We set off from the car park in Church Warsop, which appropriately enough was called The Carrs, proceeding through the church yard , across fields to Oakwood Plantation and on to Cuckney. We went from Cuckney onto Norton picking up the Robin Hood Way through Corrunna Hill Plantation to Hazel Gap and back to Church Warsop. We were a little depleted as quite a lot of our usual walkers seemed to be on grandparent babysitting duties due to the school holidays.

The rain managed to keep off and we had a good walk full of stimulating conversation, or not, as the case maybe.

Our walks are generally around 8-9 miles of easy walking, not too taxing; we have a coffee break and a lunch stop and cover some interesting places.  So anyone wishing to join please come along and join us, all are welcome.
