Law for Fun: 1st successful meeting of this new group

The first meeting of this new group took place this afternoon. A relatively new member of our U3A stepped up and took on the mantle of a new group. Thank you John for doing this! 52 people attended, which I think is a record for a new group. We were introduced to some of the 59 articles enshrined in law by the European Convention of Human rights, as well as hearing about the unconventional route John had taken to become a Barrister. The talk was lively and informative and was appreciated by the audience.The group will continue to be held in the afternoon of the 3rd Thursday each month. If you wish to continue to attend, or were unable to make this group but wish to join, please see Brenda McKenzie on the group support desk at the coffee morning.

Foodie group: Afternoon tea in the morning!

The foodie group met this morning and as usual we had a great array of delectable treats to sample, made by group members. Traybakes of chocolate tiffin and lemon sponge were complimented by a vast array of scones. Members used different recipes, Mary Berry, Delia Smith and Good housekeeping, but no matter who the author was the results were delicious. We sampled cherry, lemon, sultana, strawberry and cream and cheese scones. A lovely afternoon tea as a substitute for lunch! Thank you this month’s bakers.  New members are always welcome at the group.
