The group has had a busy time in April and May. In late April the group ventured up the A614 to visit the Adrenaline Jungle where we split up in to two groups to sample the delights of Archery and driving a Land rover through the woodland track in Sherwood Forest while blindfolded!!!
After some coaching from the staff the archery was soon mastered but the driving proved more of a challenge. As the words left and right were not allowed there were some interesting alternatives put forward by some members!!! One member managed to go up a steep slope and missed some trees by the narrowest of margins, I cannot name the member for obvious reasons, but the area is now forever known as Robbin’s hill!!!!!
Anyway we all survived the drive round the track before returning to more conventional driving methods to go to the White Post at Farnsfield for a well-deserved lunch..
In May the group settled for the much more sedate pastime of croquet at Nottingham University. In ideal weather the group split into two groups with those with no previous history of playing croquet forming one group with the experienced hands forming another group. The two teams with experience of playing enjoying a very close contest which ended seven six.
The session finished with a game of skittles and then it was back on the tram and into Nottingham for a late lunch at the Roebuck.
Next month the group travel to Lincoln to visit Bomber Command.
