November - a bit rusty at first, by month's end, card sharps!

27/11/2021

Since the lockdown we have had two sessions of Cards on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month.

All who attended were so looking forward to being able to play 500 again.    It is such an intriguing game, and time flies so quickly when playing.

With the highs and the lows during each hand there is lots of laughter and groaning when a player is either dealt a good or bad hand.

The last session will be held on Saturday 13th December.    Come along and join us.

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.
