PROPOSED NEW GROUPS
BRIDGE TWO – initially the group proposes to offer an improvers game to incorporate the inclusion and use of Acol conventions such as – Stayman – Weak and Strong No Trump – Gerber – Blackwood – Strong Twos’ – Quantative Bidding - Two Club opening and responses and other basic useful conventions as may arise or are considered by the group members.
Initially we are intending to meet on the first and third Wednesday of each month in the afternoon in member’s homes depending on numbers and commencing in the 2009 New Year. The group is not intended to be heavy going or to produce over seriousness but to enable players to enjoy the game to a greater degree than they may be currently achieving and perhaps alternating between Rubber and Duplicate Bridge.

INDUSTRIAL AWARENESS GROUP
How many times have you wondered "How do they do that?"
How do they make 1,000 gallons of beer every day?
How do they make 10,000 cakes every night?
Or upmarket kitchen furniture?
Or Computer parts?
Or cement?
The aim of the new U3A INDUSTRIAL AWARENESS GROUP
is to find out how!
All these activities are going on every day in and around Devizes and it would be quite fascinating to find out how! Why not join us?
Meetings are in the Crown Room, Crown Centre, Devizes., or on site.
