Board Games in Otley
A group for people interested in sharing their love of different board games in a social setting. The games could be Catan, Pandemic, Scrabble, Cluedo or anything else you'd like to bring along to play with others.
The emphasis is on fun. We'll meet fortnightly on a Monday between 10am and 12 noon in the foyer at The Courthouse, Courthouse Street Otley. The first session is Monday 20th May, then Monday 3rd June and so on. if you’re interested, please contact Sheila Brett even if you can’t make the first meeting.
The idea is to create a group of u3a friends around Otley who would like to support each other by sharing experiences and activities. No need ever again to be put off going to the theatre or the cinema because you don’t want to go on your own. Interested but live too far from Otley? Enquire anyway and we could look into starting groups in other areas too.
Please email chair@ilkleyu3a.org and we’ll see if there’s enough interest to proceed.
