Trois Francais Groupes for CRu3a!

Sapristi! Clarence River u3a members have really embraced the new class Fun With French with great gusto!

Such was the interest at the meeting held last Friday that group leader Ken Noble has had to now provide three (trois) groups to accommodate their needs!

As there were a number at the meeting who had not studied another language before Ken decided an elementary class was needed. The first class will be held on Thursday March 4 between 2pm-3.30pm.

For those who have had experience in learning another language and wish to learn basic French, classes will commence on Friday March 5 between 1.30pm-3pm.

The Advanced class will follow commencing at 3.30pm through until 5pm.

All classes will be held at 2/5 Parkview Crescent, Yamba. Ken may be contacted on 0422398643.

Ken is going to be extremely busy as he also conducts a Basic Maths group each Tuesday afternoon.

The Camping /Caravan group will be heading off to the Corindi Beach Holiday Park for its first outing for 2010. It will be a mid-week excursion and will take place on Wednesday 24 and Thursday 25 March. The group’s last outing was a combined trip with the Bushwalking Group to Girraween National Park in November last year. The weather was great (warm days, cool nights) and the company even better.

Group Leader Brian Byrnes said it was a well organised camping ground with great walking trails. Members decided to tackle the Castle Rock walk, which was done in the spirit of Bourke & Wills (that is, likely to get lost and not return). However they made it, without difficulty, but with a need to consume cold beers and robust reds over a barbecue with real wood flame. Life, he says, doesn’t get much better.

If you would like to join the group for its trip to Corindi Beach please give Brian a call on 6645-8854.
