Canasta

All sessions are cancelled for the foreseeable future and I will be in touch with members when it becomes clear when we may re-commence.

Thank you very much.

Kind regards.

Jackie

The Canasta group contact for 2019/20 is Jackie Thompson. To email her for info etc., please click the bluebird symbol.

The group started to play in March 2016 with a handful of people meeting in a member's house. We grew rapidly & moved to bigger premises at our current hall in Culverstone which fits our needs well. We are a friendly group and always happy to welcome new members.

Canasta is a very intriguing card game of four players; once you start, you won't want to stop. By attempting to beat your opponents, you will find that your little grey cells are given a great workout. We are a very friendly group of people who enjoy learning about and playing the game of canasta & may also arrange social outings during the year.

We meet every Monday afternoon from 14.00 - 16.30 at Culverstone Community Hall, Whitepost Lane, Culverstone Green, DA13 OTN. Please arrive at 1.45 to ensure a prompt start.

Hello, I said Hello....

Yes we are still open, Its about time for a change of attitude.... Things will be a long time getting back to the old normal so let's get busy being positive and planning for our continuing Meopham U3A future.
Group contacts have been emailed by Heather and me, (Gus) asking for information about your groups and your website page and if not much has happened PLEASE be courteous and at least reply as it all helps us to understand how our U3A is coping.
Face to face meetings of any type are going to be difficult as we all have our own "Bubbles" to feel safe in but online group quizes, coffee mornings or just a phone call can be helpful for many who miss personal contact.
Help is available and dont be scared to ask / email someone on committee who will point you in the right direction and for many try asking grandchildren for help, I do!!
As you can see from this list many of the groups are keeping the members informed of what is going on.
