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: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: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:Recorder Consort
DESCRIPTION:Usually\, a recorder consort features playing pieces in four parts – descant/soprano; treble/alto; tenor; bass – but more or fewer instruments are often used and the most fun is to be gained by being able to play all of the instruments. Learning to handle recorders is not usually a problem for adults and it is a matter of learning where the notes are from fingering charts and practising how to co-ordinate breathing\, tongueing and fingering. In this group a few members play more than one instrument. \nMusic can be supplied and can be taken away for practise between sessions. Your own recorder and music stand would be needed. Plastic instruments can be purchased inexpensively. \nRecorder consort playing demands fairly good sight reading skills so a familiarity with music notation is necessary before you consider joining this group but you don’t need to be an expert to join in!

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: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:Family History
DESCRIPTION:Did an ancestor serve time for embezzlement? Was another transported to Australia for stealing a piano? Were there bigamists in the family? I love the baddies : there is always so much more written about them than the good\, honest ag. labs. who were born\, married and died leaving no other record of their lives.\nWe are a mixed group\, from those with more than 30 years experience to those who have yet to begin. If you have ever wondered about your ancestors this is the group for you. We would love to help you get started.\nWe also like to try to break through those ‘Brick Walls’; we have sometimes had great success with this.\nWe are open to suggestions for topics for discussion. \nWe usually stay for lunch as the Fox Inn doesn’t make a charge.
