SUMMARY:Creative Writing
DESCRIPTION:Writing and story-telling have played different roles in our lives\, but we share a common love of words and stories\, and a wish to improve our writing abilities. \nInformation for prospective members:\nWriting is a solitary activity but telling your stories requires an audience. Each month we agree on a writing prompt\, and over the following weeks we write a story of some 1500 words (just a guideline\, not a requirement) to read to other members. Do we laugh or gasp at the right moments? Can we suggest a word or phrase that better conveys your intention?\nTogether we get better at expressing our thoughts and finding our own voices. \nIf you are already working on a writing project and would like to bring chapters along to try out\, that is also encouraged. \nEach year Let’s Talk Suffolk magazine runs a short story competition to select the stories that will appear in the magazine over the next 12 months. This year\, three members of the Creative Writing Group have had stories chosen for publication. Congratulations to Eunice Roberts\, Susan Daniels\, and Kate King. \n

SUMMARY:Music for All Ages
DESCRIPTION:A group for music enthusiasts! \nThe aim of the group(s) is to provide a relaxed environment for music enthusiasts to share their passion and knowledge with other group members in a sociable way. Inevitably members are introduced to music/artists they will not have heard before and expands their musical horizons. \nMembers meet monthly at the group leader’s house to listen to music for a couple of hours or so with a break for tea/coffee and discussion. The music is selected by the group members based on a theme which members choose in turn. The scope is almost limitless but examples might be: \n·        Favourite female singers \n·        Songs released in the ’70s \n·        Colours \n·        Film & TV \n·        Cover versions \n·        Towns & Cities \nI then create a playlist of the music selections in advance of meetings in order to play them on the day. The music selected is generally modern but has included classical\, jazz etc.

SUMMARY:German Conversation and Reading
DESCRIPTION:The group’s focus is to share members’ interests in the culture of German speaking countries\, alongside discussing and enjoying the finer details of the language\, whilst advancing our speaking skills. \nThis is a conversation and reading group rather than a teaching group and members should have a good knowledge of German\, with experience of actually speaking the language\, as well as enthusiasm to participate in discussions\, and so\, unfortunately\, would not be suitable for beginners. \nOur meeting includes: \nGerman conversation – a lively mix of sharing our news or interests\, sometimes a presentation about the arts\, history or a biography\, quick quizzes\, word games & jokes. \nWe also have a chosen book\, which we read aloud for pronunciation practice and discussion.

SUMMARY:Wine Appreciation
DESCRIPTION:The u3a Wine Appreciation Society has now been running for 10 years.\nOur objective is to take a not too serious look at the world of wine by keeping up to date with all new trends and products available on the market; discussing Grape varieties and new trends often with blind tastings. \nThe group now has considerable experience in buying and tasting and all members are welcome to front a session should they wish.\nWe normally taste and discuss 7 – 9 wines and conduct regular “blind” tastings all of which are a lot of fun.\nTasting glasses and tasting sheets are provided. A kitchen is available for the supply of water. \nAll costs are shared and the average “fee” will be £12 per head\, this covers the cost of wines and of course the room hire and parking charge\, this is presided over by our treasurer working in conjunction with the u3a Treasurer. \nIn the past\, we have organised a group visit to a local vineyard and this is something we hope to repeat.\nFuture plans hope to include Food\, Cheese\, and Wine pairings.
