  • Walkers

    We are a friendly group who enjoy walking in the lovely countryside around Warminster. Our walks are between 4 and 5 miles in length, sometimes with the odd ‘small incline’ but nothing too challenging. Sometimes we walk from our meeting point at the Civic Centre; other times we car share and enjoy exploring the countryside Read more

  • Opera

    We are a very small group of four, but have room for two more. We usually chose an opera to watch before the meeting, taking turns to choose, so we could do some research. If there's a local opportunity, we aim to arrange a trip out. Contact or e-mail opera@warmu3a.uk Read more

  • Mahjong

    Looking for a challenge, or just some fun? Mahjong is a game of skill & luck played by two or four people using domino-like engraved tiles, originating in China in the 1800’s. Historically, it was often played as a gambling game, but we don't! Tactics, observation and memory are required to master the game, but Read more

  • Gardening

    We meet once a month for speaker talks and outings (either local, for which we car share, or  by coach to more distant destinations). We try and meet on the first Monday of the month but that is not always possible as some gardens do not open on Mondays.  A programme is put together at Read more

  • Country Dancing

    It’s social, it’s fun and it’s great (gentle) exercise! Each dance is 3-4 minutes, with a rest before the next, and a break with tea or coffee in the middle. We do English country dancing - most of the dances come from the 1700's and 1800's - think dances seen on Poldark! No experience necessary, Read more

  • Creative Writing

    We have two groups; one led by Robert (creativewriting@warmu3a.uk) the second by Tony (creativewriting2@warmu3a.uk). The groups take a variety of approaches, either a suggested theme, or an opening line. A wide range of writing styles within the groups adds to the variety of written output! Suggested storylines last year included “The lost right to liberty” Read more

We play with or against a variety of students, all equipment is provided and no-experience is necessary. Admittedly, rules can vary and may change from time Read more
