Discussion Group.
|
Convenor: Joan Picket. 0161 707 7185
We meet at Eccles Gateway (Eccles Library) and the average number attending has been fairly consistent at approximately ten. In any one year some twenty U3A members attend at least one meting. This shifting membership reflects the nature of the group. It is not devoted to the systematic study of any particular subject (a science or a language) but is more of an open forum. (I have called it a ‘drop in centre’ but some of my colleagues suggest this gives an unfortunate impression!)
The form of meetings has changed. At first, sessions were divided into two parts: in the firs a member presented a paper and initiated discussion on a topic decided at the previous meeting, in the second, topics were taken from the floor. Increasing difficulty in obtaining volunteers to present papers has led to the abandonment of the first session, and now the whole meeting is taken up by discussion of items from the floor.
If you are fond of discussing items of interest you may wish to join this group which meets meets at Eccles Library on Tuesdays at 2pm every fourth week. Please contact Joan for further details.
