Current Affairs

Current Affairs Discussion Group. Recent topics, the Ukraine War, Tory Leadership, China following the 20th Congress of CCP. the move to clean energy and further education.

The Group meets the second Monday of each month.10.30am - circa 12.00/12.30
The Group discusses some specific aspect or sometimes generalist "free for all" subjects. For example the next meeting will discuss around the Social Care system in the UK.
No skills are needed beyond an "opinion" and the willingness to voice it, yet listen respectfully, within polite, yet occasionally passionate, discussions to the opinions of others. Currently the Group has 4 ladies and 5 men.

There is a charge of £2 per session, which covers room rental and refreshments
Biscuits and a hot drink [coffees, teas] are provide circa 11.15am.
Ideally for each meeting members, purely on a voluntary basis, prepare and lead off/chair on a topic that interests them and is thought to be relevant to the group, but this is not mandatory. Sometimes discussion just follows popular current news items. Overall responsibility lies with the Group coordinator.
Communications normally by email.
Meetings are held at the Parish Room of St Clair's Church, Downsfield Road, CH4 8HH. Free Parking and disabled access/toilet facilities available. Any car sharing is organised on an individual basis.

The active membership of the Group stands [June 2023] at 10. Whilst the room will hold many more, this is the practical ceiling for the group. There are currently 3 U3A members on a "waiting list". There is usually some membership churn each year.
