SUMMARY:Wildlife
DESCRIPTION:We visit a wide variety of locations to study the birds\, flora and fauna of this area of East Anglia. Most visits are within a 20-mile radius of Bury but we occasionally travel as far as the Suffolk coast. \nWe generally meet two Tuesday mornings each month\, usually 2nd and fourth\, although if we are venturing further afield we enjoy a day trip\, generally with a pub lunch.

SUMMARY:Lunch Group 1
DESCRIPTION:We are a group of people who enjoy socialising and eating! \nWe meet on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 12.00 at a previously agreed venue for lunch. The venue for the following meeting is decided by those present giving everyone a chance to participate and introduce us to new places. It is planned that venues will be in Bury and surrounding areas not too far out of town.

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:Book Group 5
DESCRIPTION:We aim to read books of all types\, which will be suggested by members\, but the emphasis will be on modern(ish) fiction. \nThe many pleasures of belonging to a book group include reading books you wouldn’t have otherwise read and listening to a surprisingly wide range of opinion on each book!

SUMMARY:Dementia Carers - Monthly Walk
DESCRIPTION:We are a recently formed mutual support group for family carers who are looking after someone living with dementia. \nIn addition to our regular meetings we hold a monthly walk for family carers and those they care for on the fourth Tuesday of every month at Nowton Park. No charge is made for the walks but anyone attending\, both carers and cared for\, needs to be u3a members to ensure that full public liability cover is in place for all attendees. \nWe meet at 2pm outside the Nowton Park café\, which is also a good place to get coffee or tea afterwards.

SUMMARY:Poetry Reading
DESCRIPTION:We are a lively\, informal group who meet on a Tuesday fortnightly to read poems aloud over a cup of tea and a biscuit.\nEach person chooses a few poems on a pre-agreed topic and a brief discussion follows a reading. \nTopics include individual poets (Jackie Kay for example) or particular themes (Sun\, Moon and Stars for example).\nAnd sometimes we try to read a longer poem ‘in the round’ (The Rime of the Ancient Mariner for example.)

SUMMARY:Bird Watching
DESCRIPTION:We go to places in East Anglia where we expect (or hope) to see and watch interesting birds and increase our ability to identify and appreciate them. \nOutings usually last half to three-quarters of a day. \nMembers travel by car and lift sharing is encouraged. \nAppropriate clothing for the weather is needed\, and a pair of binoculars are helpful. At times conditions underfoot are uneven/slippery/boggy and we do some walking and a fair bit of standing around but are glad to use hides where available. \nBrowse through a selection of our Birds seen here

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.

SUMMARY:Walking Too
DESCRIPTION:Our Group members take it in turns to plan and lead walks which are approx 6 miles in length starting at 10.00. Lunch follows each walk (arranged by the walk leader)\, generally at a local pub. \nOur walks are usually circular – starting and ending at or near the pub designated for lunch – however\, members are welcome to plan linear walks when possession of a bus pass might come in handy! \nDriving is necessary so we encourage car sharing.

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: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:English Medieval Literature
DESCRIPTION:The English Medieval Literature group (previously Chaucer Group). \nAfter completing our reading of Beowulf we’ve spent an interesting year expanding our knowledge of Anglo-Saxon poetry and Anglo-Saxon life in general with help from Kevin Crossley-Holland’s The Anglo-Saxon World. Readings have ranged from the Battle of Maldon\, which ends frustratingly on a cliff-hanger (it turns out we lost) to the Dream of the Rood\, a highly sophisticated blend of Christian and Pagan thought and from the Laws of Wihtred (including the gory details of Trial by Ordeal to the Passion of St Edmund). \nIn September we’ll be returning to the fourteenth century\, embarking on Simon Armitage’s translation of Gawain and the Green Knight.

DESCRIPTION:Our group takes a light hearted look at music appreciation. We have started to look at basic musical structures with the intent of seeing how music has developed and diverged over the centuries.\nIndividuals take a lead\, if they wish\, on presenting a composer or musical topic.\nExamples are played of either the ‘form’ or of the composer on a Bluetooth enabled CD player.\nEnjoying music and each other’s company is a priority!
