German Revolution Prints, CANCELLED
Lady Lever – May 13th 1 p.m.
A viewing of this controversial exhibition is a must for art and history lovers alike. Including works by Munch, Schiele and Kokoschka, this exhibition explores how the social, political, sexual and moral struggles taking place during the turbulent period of the German Revolution (1918-1919) moved artists to produce such dramatic imagery. The exhibition also features important prints by Gauguin and Picasso that demonstrate how artists outside Germany contributed to Expressionism.

New Group – Rummikubs
Our day trip – Oswaldtwistle
It was cold, frosty and sunny when we set off for Oswaldtwistle Mills. Set in a converted Weaving Mill this is an award winning destination with lots of variety including clothes, garden centre, textile museum, cafes, ice cream parlour, fresh food etc. We arrived to a room set out for us to have coffee/biscuits which was a nice start. Then came the serious business of shopping, browsing, investigating and we are all good at that! Continue reading

Easy Walkers need leader for 2nd group.
The ‘easy walkers’ group leader has asked me to post that the group is now full. 17 people walked last week which is a difficult number for the 2 leaders to manage, to ensure all walkers are safe, and to enable the walk to be fun for everyone. If anyone is willing to create an Easy Walkers – 2 group it would be much appreciated, as our U3A tries to ensure equal access to groups for all members. If anyone is willing to lead another group, which could be on any day of your choosing, please discuss at group leader support desk on Tuesday coffee mornings. A full program of ready made walks is available so you need not create a new one. Judith Jones, the current Easy Walk leader, is also happy to discuss with you. Contact her on 07443 334222.
Ramble breaks a record
On a bright crisp Thursday morning in February we met at the allocated point on the pub car park ready to undertake a ramble. The first couple of cars arrived early, followed by more, and more….and then more! Until finally everyone was assembled and the head count revealed a whopping 27 people! Certainly a record for our ramble group. Maybe it was the gorgeous spring sunshine that made people venture out, or maybe the chance to walk around Lunt meadows, which was a new venture for some people. Anyway, whatever the reason, everyone was ready for a wander through our local nature reserve. Continue reading
Dathliadau a ‘Charades’ – Celebrations and Charades
Fel bob tro, cawsom amser gwych yn y dosbarth Cymraeg heddiw gyda chacen ffrwythau a Bucks Fizz yn doreithiog. Roeddem yn dathlu priodas Siobhan, merch Chris a Stuart, ac yn hapus iawn i godi gwydraid wrth i ni dostio ffortiwn dda’r cwpl hapus.
Doedd hyn yn golygu na wnaethom ddim gwaith yn y dosbarth! Fe wnaethom barhau i ychwanegu berfau at ein geirfa gynyddol a’u rhoi i weithio yn ein gêm o charades!
Trowyd tudalennau geiriadur ar gyflymder ac roedd yn anhygoel faint ohonom a luniodd ddehongliad gwahanol o’r gweithgaredd yn cael ei actio!
Roedd yn sesiwn dda iawn ac roeddem i gyd yn teimlo’n flin dros y rhai a gollodd allan heddiw.
