Hi everyone
I am sure, like me, you are enjoying, finally, the brighter and longer days which always gives us a long awaited 'lift'. Along with this,
I hope your groups are running well too and if you are part of one which can make use of the better weather, a real bonus. Talking of which, the croquet group which is held in Tunbridge Wells, has just started back for the season, and the information on this is in the Journal here from the leader, so do please contact Keith if you would like to try out or resume again.
If you have a moment, have a look at our website www.tonbridgeu3a.uk for up to date news on groups, monthly meetings, and more. It is worth a perusal from time to time, as I have found myself. If I can help on any matter do please mail me at groups@tonbridgeu3a.uk
Wishing you all the best as we get out and about and start to think of holidays perhaps.

Current groups
Bridge Duplicate
This is an invite to any member, who would like to try out this group, which was flourishing pre covid and since then, has lost some of its members and hence a few more would make the meeting more buoyant. All levels are welcome. We meet on Thursday morning, twice a month, in a local hall.
All levels are welcome', but if a complete novice, please try the Beginners Bridge group.
If you would like further information, do please contact the leader Anthony Sayer at
bridgeduplicate@tonbridgeu3a.uk or alternatively the groups coordinator
