The Beginners’ Bridge Group along with a couple of friends had a very enjoyable three night break at St Anne’s last week. The bridge was great, the food was brilliant and the the company excellent. A great time was had by all.
We’re all concerned with keeping our mental processes as sharp as can be , have you ever considered that a new challenge might just be what’s needed?
In a joint venture with Aintree U3A we hold Beginners and Improvers’ Bridge classes every Monday at Aintree Youth and Community Centre at 13:00. If you’ve never tried the game why not give it a go? Our new beginners group won’t start till September but you can dust off any skills you already have with our Improvers’ Group.
Come along on a Monday and see what we’re up to or give me a ring on 526 2530 – you know it makes sense!!!!!!!!!!
For the second time in 2017 the Improvers’ Bridge Group set off for a four day bridge holiday in St. Anne’s.
The hotel was resplendent (as were we) in its Christmas finery and the food was up to its usual excellent standard.
Each evening session began with cocktails followed by a four course meal and on one occasion we were visited by Father Christmas and his Elves. His bulging sack held a surprise for each of us as we were handed our present for being good all year!!

Hedd Wyn – Un o Feirdd Rhyfel Cymru One of the War Poets of Wales
Ganwyd Ellis Humphrey Evans ar y 13fed o Ionawr 1887 ym Mhen Lan yng nghanol Trawsfynydd, Sir Feirionydd. Roedd yr hynaf o unarddeg o blant a anwyd i Evan ac Mary Evans. Yn 1887 symydodd y teulu i Yr Ysgwrn, fferm rhyw ddau fillitir tu allan i Traws. Cafodd Ellis adysg drwy’r ysgol ac yr ysgol Sul ond bu rhaid iddo adel yr ysgol pan yr oedd yn pedwar ar ddeg i ddechrau gweithio fel bugail ar y fferm. O oed ifanc roedd yn amlwg fod gab Elllis dalent am farddoniaeth. Roedd eisoes wedi cyfansoddi ei gerddi cyntaf erbyn un ar ddeg oed. Cymerodd ran mewn eisteddfodau o pedwar ar bymtheg oed ac enillodd ei gadair gyntaf yn Penbedw ym 1917. Ym 1910, cymerodd yr enw barddol Hedd Wyn. Enillodd Gadeiriau yn 1913 a 1915, ac yn yr un flwyddyn ysgrifennodd ei gerdd gyntaf ar gyfer Eisteddfod Genedlaethol Cymru-Eryri, awdl i’r Wyddfa.
Margaret Walton got her first taste for Art when she was nine years old when she made a copy of a portrait of Sir Walter Raleigh at school. Over the next 56 years Margaret taught herself how to paint and through it bring much pleasure to herself and others.
The Glass Workshop group epitomizes what the U3A really means; you have an idea, you find a course to get you started and you pass on your knowledge to others. John Jackson has a love of glass and a love of design; put them together and you have works of art.
