BOOKS – CLASSICS | ||
| What? | We read and discuss classic books. During the last year we have read and discussed eight books, ranging from Dickens (“A Christmas Carol”) to modern classics like “Fahrenheit 451” by Ray Bradbury. “The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists” was hard going and many of our members did not enjoy Le Carre’s “Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy”. Easier reads were du Maurier’s Rebecca”, Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men” and Graham Greene’s “The Heart of the Matter” and last summer we read the very long “The Way we Live Now” by Anthony Trollop. |

BRIDGE – PLAYERS – MONDAY | ||
| What? | This is a mixed ability group playing Chicago Bridge. Most of our members are experienced players but we have (and we want to encourage) less experienced players who are now competent improvers. By popular request, every other week we now play Gentle Duplicate Bridge but the scores are not recorded and this is not a highly competitive group. The group is still suitable for those who simply want to play Bridge socially and to gain experience and confidence by playing regularly. Most of our members play with a regular partner and most use the Acol bidding conventions published by the English Bridge Union. Knowledge of basic modern Acol is therefore quite important. No tuition is given and those joining must have knowledge and competency in both the etiquette and technical aspects of the modern game. Beginners should have completed a formal beginner’s class with U3A or elsewhere. But we are a friendly group and if help is needed there are experienced players here willing to offer advice. Sociability and flexibility are also important as, from time to time, to accommodate odd numbers of players (not divisible by four) you may be asked to play three-handed bridge or to temporarily partner with any other member of the group. |
