Fun with Languages

by WebmasterFun with LanguagesPosted on Comments are Disabled

We had our last session on German this month but were low on numbers due to holidays and illness. We hope those unwell recover quickly.

We completed the session with work on hotels and reservations, helped by our audio course.

The next meeting is Thursday 8th August at 10.30 till 12 noon in the Byron Suite, JGC. We shall have coffee and cake and a discussion about the future of the group. If you can attend to express your thoughts and ideas on this, that would be great. However, if not perhaps you would email Ann with your thoughts on the group? That would be appreciated.

Have a good summer all. Let’s hope for better weather!

There will be no meeting in September.

Kurling

At a loose end on a Sunday afternoon, why not come along to St. John’s Church Hall, and join us for an enjoyable game of Kurling, between 3 and 5pm.

It isn’t too exerting; you just need to be able to wield a broom like pusher and to make it an easier game we have shortened the target length.

Please contact Susan Foss if you are interested.

Canasta

The Thursday afternoon sessions of Canasta have started well, but we still have room for more players. We play every week in the lounge at the Station Hotel from 2 – 4.30. There is no room charge, just a purchase of a drink. You don’t have to attend every week, but once you get into Canasta, I think you will want to.

Table Tennis Group

The Table Tennis Group has been running now for over 2 years, (how time flies). It’s a great way of getting gentle exercise and having fun. It certainly helps with the hand eye co-ordination.

Sensible footwear should be worn, and please bring along liquid refreshment of your choice. All equipment is provided.

We meet at Hucknall Leisure Centre every Friday afternoon 2pm – 4pm, with the first session being free.

For further information contact Alan Hodkinson via email – ahodkinson@live.co.uk.

Long Walks

Our walk this month was to the Peak District on 2nd July and was led by Carol Green. We walked 7.96 miles over good paths; it was pleasant for walking as the weather behaved itself and was warm, without being uncomfortable.

It was a nice walk with stunning scenery; we walked through Stoney Middleton and Eyam, two beautiful old English villages. Eyam became famous by shutting itself off because of an outbreak of plague, 400 years ago. There are plaques outside each of the cottages telling who lived there at that time and what happened to them, which we took time to read. We finished off by having a cup of tea and cake at a pleasant tea shop in Eyam where we were able to sit outside as the Sun had shown itself.
