Weekenders

Posted on April 29, 2023 by Webmaster

The Weekenders April Newsletter was sent out to its members at the end of April. We went to Denby Pottery on Monday, 17th April.  Sadly we did not fill the bus so may have to re-think our outings if not enough members wish to attend.

Thanks to Margaret White who hosted a very pleasant Social Lunch on 22nd April.  We had a Broomhill Birthday Lunch on 28th April for Siobhan Lee which we all very much enjoyed followed by a Coronation-themed Coffee Club on 29th April. 

A small group of us are also attending a Coronation Afternoon Tea at Morton’s Farm on Friday, 5th May.

Lunch Group

Posted on April 29, 2023 by Webmaster

On 26th April, 28 of us visited The Countryman in the Kirkby in Ashfield area which was much enjoyed.   

On the 24th May we are booked into The Corinthian, Goldsmith Street, Nottingham and a £5 deposit is required. Unfortunately this clashes with the National Trust outing so our numbers are depleted but there is still time to add your name, especially if you are new to the Lunch Group. 

I should be grateful to receive any recommended venue suggestions within an eight to ten mile radius of Hucknall, as the menu prices for most places have gone up so much in recent months.

      History Group

      Posted on April 27, 2023 by Webmaster

      The History Group always welcomes all U3A members especially new ones. Our indoor meeting place is Central Methodist Church on Baker Street: time 2pm – 4pm ish.

      What did you think to Bassetlaw Museum at Retford if you went on the coach?  I thought it was just brilliant so many memories brought back to life from mothers and grandmothers. The Pilgrim Fathers exhibition was very good and it was interesting to see people from the original tribe who helped the settlers who had come over the ocean and built a wetu in the garden. Retford itself was a lovely place to walk around with plenty of cafés and seats for a rest when needed. The journey was great as well – I will remember the bluebells as we passed Clumber Park.

      Wednesday May 17th 2pm is the date and time for the meeting at Central Methodist Church when Mike Kelly will be with us. He will tell us about ‘The Fall of Saxon England, Christmas Day 1065 to Christmas Day 1066’ which is the most traumatic year in English history.

      Kathy and Sue will be at the main meeting on May 10th to take bookings for our Visit to Ashby de la Zouch Museum on June 21st.
