Good news - Benalla U3A's Games group has been reinstated!

1/7/2018

The Games Group ran for many years to mid 2016. Convened by Dorothy Webber, it has just been reintroduced on the 4th Wednesday from 10 am to 12 midday. It is using the timeslot previously used by the Recorder Group who now meet at North East Artisans.

Beginning with board games, the group has potential overtime to fill the hole left by the previous Games group which offered 'indoor games of the non-physical variety' including cards, scrabble and mahjong.

Cards '500'

The card game of 500 is a simple social game to play with groups of 4 players or more.

Playing cards is a fun way of enjoying other's company without physical exertion. Our U3A group of card players has many laughs and fun at our sessions with easy to understand rules.

Players do not have to have had previous experience as you will be taught how to play by others present.

We are a friendly and welcoming group where the focus is on having fun in a mildly competi-tive environment. There is no gambling or money involved.

The game is flexible and can be configured to accommodate any number of participants. This allows for flexibility if you cannot come along on a regular basis.
