A Year in History

Current
Tuesday am
From
10:00
To
12:00
Monthly 2nd and 4th Tuesdays.
Currently meeting via Zoom, we choose a year and members prepare a presentation on any topic of their choice relevant to that year, as much latitude as required being allowed for explanations of cause and effect. We typically spend five sessions or more on a chosen year, and presentations average about 40 minutes. Our approach is unsystematic, but not unscholarly, and the variety of presentations is a delight.

Mah Jong
Status
Suspended
Monday pm
From
14:30
To
16:30
fortnightly on Mondays
Playing is suspended until Covid-19 restrictions are eased.
We are a mix of complete newcomers to the game, returning players who may not have played for many years, and one or two more experienced players. We have been having fun learning or remembering the game. There are several versions of Mah Jong. We use the British Mah Jong Association rules as our guide.
