New and Proposed Groups
Beer, Wine & Bus Pass Quizzers
This new group came about because of the constraints of the Covid-19 crisis. The original Beer, Wine & Bus Pass group has until recently been confined to barracks, but to keep the spirits of group members up, they trialled a quiz session via Zoom video conferencing. We're told that it was great fun, and a lot of laughs were had. Goodness knows we all need a bit of that!
If you are not already a member of the original Beer, Wine & Bus Pass group (who have automatically been transferred into the new group) but fancy a spot of quizzing from the comfort of your own home, please contact Group Leader Chris Livesey.
Tutto Italiano
The Italian Group is changing to Everything Italian!
Group Leader, Jim Stalley, proposes that this group focuses less on the Italian language, and more on wider Italian life, as there is so much to explore and celebrate about this fascinating country. Jim's background is in Italian wine, so that's a pretty good start!
Other topics might include cuisine, culture, customs, art & architecture, music, cinema, cities .... the possibilities are endless, and will be decided upon by group members.
In the course of looking at the many aspects of Italian life, knowledge of grammar, vocabulary and idioms should increase as a matter of course, without the dry study often associated with learning a foreign language.
Jim would particularly welcome help in organising this group. This could be one person, or the various duties could be shared amongst group members. Please consider stepping up to help Jim develop this eclectic group.

Discussion 2
Before lockdown, Ann Elwes, the Group Leader of the original Discussion Group, had been turning away new members because it was felt that the group already had the ideal number of participants. To accommodate new members, Ann would be happy to lead a second Discussion group from her own home.
