April 2026

As the meeting for the Friendship Group fell on Good Friday it was decided not to have a meeting in April.   Without more support  from members I feel that the Group is likely to fold.   It is up to you as members to tell us what you would like the Group to be doing, or a new venue, but bearing in mind that The Plough is free of charge and if we moved elsewhere it would be at a cost.   If anyone has any suggestions please get in touch.

Feb 2026

Unfortunately the Friendship Group was cancelled again due to low number of members intending to come to the February meeting.   I feel that as numbers have now gone so low that we need to consider whether we carry on or not.   If any members have any ideas on how we might boost numbers or improve the Group I would like them to come forward and talk to me at the next U3A meeting, or if you would like to join the group that would be even better.  Generally we meet on the first Friday of the month at The Plough Inn at 2.00 p.m.  Betty

Dec 2025

The Friendship Group meeting scheduled to take pace on the 5th December was cancelled due to insufficient members expected to  attend.   It has been decided that no meeting will be held in January due to the date being the day after New Years Day.   Our next meeting will be the first Friday in February.   

Best wishes to all for the Festive Season.

1st Nov 24  

The Friendship Group met on Friday, 1st November, when 7 members enjoyed a board game called Harry Potter Sequence.   It was a change from our usual games and I hope everyone enjoyed the change.   The majority of us had not played this before so some concentration was required.   We ended the afternoon with a few games of UNO which was more familiar to all of us. 

The next meeting will be on Friday, 6th December at 2.00 p.m. in The Plough Inn.
