OUTDOOR GAMES & ACTIVITIES:

Croquet:

'Great fun and very successful' is the general feeling of players last season, with an average of twenty members at each session, even occasionally with thirty players in attendance! Any member of Carrick U3A is most welcome to join the Croquet group, who play in the Summer season between mid May and mid September at Perranarworthal Cricket Club ground from 10.00 to 12.00 noon.

Led by Jon Skelton, the Group play on Wednesdays, the less technically demanding Golf croquet, rather than Association croquet. It's great fun and the misses are just as enthusiastically cheered as the good shots. Occasionally on Friday evenings, a few members are learning to play Association croquet. Anyone who might be interested is invited to request further information (01872) 865316.

Cycling Group:

Why not get that bike out and join as on one of our outings. June Thomas is our coordinator and invites you to call for further information and dates. There are some classic trails around our beautiful county and some of the traffic-free by-ways can perhaps be enjoyed at their best on two wheels! Perhaps there's interest in riding the Bissoe Trail and Tramway routes? (01872) 261234 is the number to call to check what's on offer in the riding season, so keep you eye on this group!

Pètanque:

John & Janet Bishop head up U3A Pètanque activities at Gyllingvase Beach, Falmouth, to cast a few balls across the sands. The beach area has plenty of space and facilities and is a popular activity with up to fifty plus participants, when the weather is at its best. However, there's always room for more on the first and third Mondays, starting at 10.00am. Call for futher information (01872) 862949.

Tennis Group:

Playing at Boscawen Park, Truro, members turn up each week at 2.00pm on Thursdays and play for around an hour or so. The standard is not too demanding however. Tony Herring keeps the group together and even when numbers are small, and if only 4 - 8 people turn up, we can still have an enjoyable time. Just turn up, or if you prefer, call Tony for more information,or a weather report, when it looks a bit iffy! (01872) 273678. We generally play from Easter, through to October, dependent upon the Cornish climate!
