WHAT'S HAPPENING IN AND AROUND COOKRIDGE AND HORSFORTH

Would you like to learn how to play Bridge? If so, why not join the Beginners Bridge Group, which is just about to start a new “term”. Sessions will be held on Wednesdays at 2 pm at the Group Leader’s house.

If this is something which interests you, please get in touch with the Group Leader, Lesley Birch (contact details in “Directory” under the Members tab on this website).

This weeks session was the last for this year as a lot of us will be at the Ten Pin Bowling Christmas Lunch next week. The sessions will start next year on the 10th of January. Put the date in your diary. 

The inaugural meeting of CHU3A was held in November 2008.  Within 3 months we had almost 200 members.  Congratulations and thank you to those founder members who are still members today.  Whether you were on the Steering Group, or served on the Committee, started an Interest Group, gave a talk, made the refreshments, or helped set up the hall for meetings, your hard work and enthusiasm ensured the immediate success of this organisation.  Thank you.
