SUMMARY:Archers Appreciation Group
DESCRIPTION:We are a friendly social group bonding over a Radio 4 programme woven into British culture for 75 years and which continues in popularity. \nThere are an abundance of storylines and topics discussed in our coffee morning style format. We laugh\, speculate about plot lines and characters. We share our experiences where themes from the programme overlap our lived experience.

SUMMARY:Italian Conversation
DESCRIPTION:We are a small group of enthusiasts who enjoy studying and speaking Italian and learning about Italian culture\, and we meet in each other’s houses most Tuesday afternoons in term time\, from 2 – 3.30 pm. \nOur language skills are roughly Intermediate level\, although some of us have more experience than others. Since none of us is either an Italian teacher or a native speaker\, we help each other and learn from each other\, taking it in turns to host the meeting and prepare a topic for the week. We generally start the meeting with a general conversation in Italian\, before moving onto a more structured activity. This could be a more advanced grammatical point\, a short text to read and discuss\, or a listening comprehension.

SUMMARY:Canasta Group 2
DESCRIPTION:Canasta originated in Montevideo\, Uruguay in 1939. \nInitially\, you make melds of 3 cards of the same value which you build on to make a Canasta (7 cards). Cards have different values according to their face value. The purpose of the game is to reach 5\,000 points. The more points you score\, the more card values you need to put in an initial meld – in other words\, you are handicapped. This is what makes the game interesting. \nI have a copy of the Canasta card game that we would follow because I know that there are several different ways to play.

SUMMARY:Art Appreciation
DESCRIPTION:We are a friendly and enthusiastic group of art lovers who discuss and study all aspects of the history and appreciation of art. Our meetings vary from talks by group members\, studio visits to local artists\, trips to art exhibitions\, and occasionally an outside speaker. Our trips can usually include lunch or coffee\, so we are able to meet socially outside the meetings. \nThe atmosphere is very informal\, so people who are keen to learn are as welcome as those who have some background knowledge. \nWe meet at The Moreton Hall Community Centre where there is plenty of parking.

SUMMARY:Canasta
DESCRIPTION:Canasta originated in Montevideo\, Uruguay in 1939. \nInitially\, you make melds of 3 cards of the same value which you build on to make a Canasta (7 cards). Cards have different values according to their face value. The purpose of the game is to reach 5\,000 points. The more points you score\, the more card values you need to put in an initial meld – in other words\, you are handicapped. This is what makes the game interesting. \nI have a copy of the Canasta card game that we would follow because I know that there are several different ways to play.

SUMMARY:Spanish Conversation
DESCRIPTION:We are a Spanish conversation group\, with the aim of discussing a wide range of topics\, rather than formal structured learning\, so the ability to converse in Spanish is necessary\, with experience of actually speaking the language\, as well as enthusiasm to participate in discussions\, and so unfortunately it would not be appropriate for beginners. \nWe meet every Friday from 11:30 to 12:30 at the Abbeygate Cinema. We sit in a niche at the far end of the restaurant.

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. Therefore\, the Group would not be suitable for beginners. \nOur meetings include: \nGerman conversation – a lively mix of sharing our news or interests\, with a presentation about the arts\, history\, a place of interest or a biography. Quick quizzes\, jokes and word games are also part of the sessions. We also read aloud in turns from a chosen book for pronunciation practice and discussion.

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: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
