Calendar

A group where the participants share their travels based around a couple of topics each month

We read and discuss books from the Book Discussion Scheme (BDS)

Urban Explorers is a walking group with a difference. We will explore the city and its surrounds and learn more about the history of each area, its hidden gems - the parks and reserves, and enjoy our environment. There will be a convivial coffee at some stage. No hill walks are planned.

We meet at 1.30pm on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month.

We are a social group with a more relaxed view of the rules and the use of dictionaries than you would find at a formal club. We can happily accommodate new players who want to try a different way of keeping the brain active. Scrabble can be played with 2, 3 or 4 people at each table so we can accommodate varying numbers - you don’t need to commit to coming to every session. 

If we get to the happy position of 12 or more players turning up, we may have to rethink the venue - I would be running out of chairs and tables!

Varied programme - sharing theatre experiences, speakers, theatre visits

Our members meet on the 4th or last Tuesday morning of each month to enjoy a stimulating and entertaining film, usually showing at the Academy Gold Cinema based at The Colombo mall in Sydenham.I send out an email to all the members several days beforehand informing them of my selections. There are always at least 2 and even 3 films to choose from, usually screening at about the same time, in order to appeal to as many members as possible.I encourage members to meet for a coffee and discussion at the cafe next door to share what we liked or disliked about our choice of film.

We meet at 1.30pm on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at a members house.
