to WHAT WE DO German Group in 2010
|
The German Group has been in existence since 2001 when High Lane U3A first started. We are a group of about 10 members, all with varying abilities, who meet on most Fridays at 42 Bowfell Drive at 10 o'clock. Our meetings are light-hearted and sociable but we do learn something new every week.
We start off with general conversation on what we have been doing during the week, then proceed to reading a text which forms the basis for further discussion, leading to an improvement in our "Landeskunde" (knowledge of the country).
In past years we have had trips to several German cities: Berlin, Cologne, Nuremberg, Hamburg and Munich.
Some of the members have formed lasting friendships with families in Forchheim in Franconia, a town with which we have strong links. Some members of the group will be taking part in the Travel Group's trip to the Rhineland in May 2010.
This is a very sociable group and we enjoy eating out, our last outing being a very enjoyable Christmas meal at the Wycliffe Hotel in Edgeley.
