Cinema at the Gulbenkian
Dear Friends
As part of our partnership with the Gulbenkian Arts Centre at the University of Kent, we have pencilled 3 dates in the diary for a monthly cinema screening over the Autumn period 2023.
The provisional dates are:
Saturday 7 October at 3.00pm
Saturday 4 November at 3.00pm
Saturday 2 December at 3.00pm
Parking is free on Saturdays. We are planning to have someone to introduce each film and then fielding questions and answers after the screening. More details to follow once the films have been chosen (possibly from the Cinema Rediscovered list). All the best,
Robin
Social Bridge
This continues to thrive in our u3a.
The Coastal Group meets weekly on Thursday afternoons at Dunkirk. This group is more suitable for less experienced players.

The Canterbury Group meets weekly at Littlebourne on Friday afternoons. This group is more suitable for more experienced players.

Both groups play duplicate bridge in a friendly welcoming atmosphere. At mid-session everything stops for tea and a chat.
