Friendly games of Teams Bridge are played each month in members’ homes, on days that suit the people playing in each game. We are happy to hold introductory sessions if you have not played teams bridge before. However you do need a bridge partner who is also a member of the U3A and an email address so games can easily be organised. |

The U3A Snooker Group is now up and running at the Olympic Centre in Swanley. where there are 6 tables available for play. We have reserved 2 tables from 2pm till 4pm on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month. The Centre is an easy drive from Sevenoaks and plentiful free parking is available. Charges are an initial annual joining fee of £11 and then a table charge of £3.40 per hour. We play snooker in pairs, threesomes and foursomes, depending on table availability. The standard is somewhat lower than the World Championship right now but most members still have high hopes of making a 100 break! Or even a 30 break. Well, we can but dream and keep trying. |

A gentle walk of about one and a half hours, starting at 11 am, followed by a pub lunch, if desired. Members are encouraged to take turns in leading the strolls. Sensible walking shoes are required (not wellingtons). We frequently pass through fields with animals, thus we are unable to take dogs.

Walks start about 9.30 am, are usually around 10 miles with a half-way lunch break at a suitably located pub, and finish at around 3.30 pm. Members take it in turn to plan and lead walks. We meet at the start point of the walk; some informal car share arrangements are an advantage. National U3A has published 2 walking guides to Bodmin Moor and Settle. |
