There is still time to take part in a free tester session. The last taster session is taking place this Friday (19th May) at 9.30 to 10.30 at West Lancs College in Skelsmerdale. Come to Group Support desk on 16th May for more details. We are hoping to start this group in September, up to now 18 people have attended taster sessions and all agree it has been great fun and a good way to keep fit.
Our Modern France group which meets twice per month has had some vigorous debates on the current French elections. Members were remarkably well informed and enjoyed identifying how different the French electoral system is from our own. The story is not yet over, since they have to go through another two-stage process next month in order to elect the National Assembly. So anyone with any degree of interest in comparative politics in this year of elections would be welcome to come to our June sessions at Lydiate Village Centre, June 13 and 27 from 2.30 onwards.
