October 2020

Cycling Group
September Ride
Our group meets on the last Friday of the month. New members are always welcome.
This month we travelled out to Woodend Beach and biked along the Tutaepatu Trail to Waikuku and then back to Pegasus town for lunch. There were 9 of us enjoying a beautiful day and a very relaxed trip away from traffic.
Next month we will ride from Halswell to Lincoln on the cycleway

Family History group
The Family History group is a small but enthusiastic group with each member intent on finding out something of their forebears. We meet on the first Tuesday of each month; the November meeting will be held on Tuesday 3rd November in competition with the Melbourne Cup and the US elections!
This month two members were present, and time was spent searching on various computer sites.

History Group
We are nearing the end of our current online course “History and Spread of the English Language”. It has been a fascinating journey from Old English to English in Society. Our next Unit 9 covers political correctness, catch phrases, slogans, graffiti, slang, proverbs, idioms, and clichés. One more to go and then the group will be deciding on our next course for 2021.

Urban Explorers October Outing
The group is exploring the South Quadrant of the central city with Graeme this month. It will be an interesting blend of the past and new, exciting future for this ever changing area.
