February 2016 - Kings Hill U3A

Kings Hill and District U3A
Newsletter 40 – February 2016
From the Chairman
Please come along and support the
AGM which is being held at the end
of April (Thursday 28th at 2 pm). A
new Committee will be in place
following elections at the AGM as
some of us are standing down this
year. The AGM will give you the
opportunity to meet the new
Committee Members and Officers.
Also, don’t forget that we will be
holding our main meeting as usual
on Thursday April 7th. There will be
no main meeting in May.
I know a few of you are enquiring
about
going
to
Chichester
University for this year’s Summer
School and some have already
booked. This year you will see there
are some great subjects for you to
choose from. If you are interested,
have a look at the website or
contact me if you need more
information.
The Committee met with 12 new
members at our welcome gathering
at the Golf Club at the end of
January. There are many more who
have been unable to make the dates
but there should be another being
organised in the next couple of
months. I also met a few new
members at our Luncheon Club
meal at Lenham recently.
Thanks go to Tricia, David
Urmston and Margaret for getting
even more SIGs started for our
members. Tricia has started a
‘Makers of History’ SIG, David has
already arranged a ‘Hill Walking’
SIG trip to the Black Mountains in
February and Margaret organised
the first meeting for an Ukulele
SIG. We have around 50 SIGs for
our members to choose from with a
few more in the pipeline. I was very
impressed to see the photo of the
stunning arrangements produced
by our Floristry SIG. They look so
professional and well done all! See
later in this newsletter for more
details.
See you all at our next meeting on
Thursday 4th February.
Karen
Speaker – last month
r John Reuther gave us a lovely,
Dlight-hearted talk on the history
and origin of our old, friendly
nursery rhymes. It seems that some
were not as friendly as first
thought! Some were political
comment at the time, and many
were old counting rhymes, to teach
children how to count (Hickory
Dickory Dock, for example.)
It seems, too, that “Baa, Baa, Black
Sheep” is a political rhyme - about
the Great Custom, a tax on wool
that was introduced in 1275, its use
of the colour black and the word
“master” led some to wonder
whether there was a racial message
at its centre. Its political correctness
was called into question in the latter
part of the 20th century, with some
schools banning it from being
repeated in classrooms, and others
simply switching out the word
“black” for something deemed less
offensive.
In 2011, news.com.au reported
on the proliferation of “Baa, Baa
Rainbow Sheep” as an alternative,
although it doesn't scan nearly as
well!
John spoke almost entirely from
memory,
only
occasionally
referring to his notes, and kept us
entertained for a full 45 minutes,
with time at the end for a few
questions.
Next month we will hear from
Anthony Poulton-Smith, who will
be talking about the origins of place
names. (I wonder if anyone will ask
him about Pratts Bottom, near
Orpington?).

News from the Groups
Gardening Groups
This month the two groups met up
at the Kings Hill Golf Club for a
quiz. As there were sixteen of us we
split into 4 teams. The questions
were cryptic so not too much
knowledge of gardening was
needed and so the teams were fairly
even in their scoring. However,
there was a winning team and their
prize was a variety of window sill
seeds and the team that came last
got some garden twine!
Over tea, coffee and cake we
discussed what plants were
flowering early due to the mild
winter. However, whilst the warmer
weather had confused some plants
the wetter conditions may also have
affected others, in particular rotting
some bulbs.
It was agreed that Gardening
Group One would not meet next
week and Gardening Group Two
would not meet in February.

Luncheon Club
The February luncheon club will
be held on Friday 19th February
2016 at The Plough in Eynsford.
Please let June Rose know if you
will be coming - there is no need to
choose food in advance. In future it
is hoped that the 3rd Friday in the
month will be the regular day for
Kings Hill and District U3A
Newsletter 40 - February 2016
luncheon club. This will hopefully
make it easier to plan your activities
in advance.

Photography
Our next meeting is on 16
February at my house when the
theme will be 'Churches and
Historic Buildings'. Please let me
have a maximum of 4 photographs
to share with the group. These
can be
sent
as
email attachments, by
Dropbox, Flickr or on any portable
device on the day.
Roger has kindly volunteered to
demonstrate
the
making
of
a slideshow combining
photos, special
effects and music
using Pro Show Gold. The plan is
to spend 30 minutes on the
photographs and the rest on Roger's
presentation.

Creative Writing
Our first meeting of the new year
took place at the Golf Club on the
thirteenth of the month when we
discussed our various literary efforts
in the usual way.
Although I expected many to be
preoccupied over the Christmas
period, everyone managed to write
a story for children as suggested and
additionally there were some very
original and amusing limericks
produced by the group. I have
chosen the following one to
reproduce as it summarises the aims
and achievements of the group as
well as referring to the task of the
previous month which was to
produce a war story.
There once was a group from
U3A
Who met once a month on
Wednesday
They did lots of writing
The last one on fighting
But this time should be just
Child’s Play
The group were challenged today
to make birthday cakes from
flowers. The results were excellent
and some of the best arrangements
we have done yet. After the
excesses of Christmas, it was good
to be making cakes which
wouldn't add to our calorie intake!
New members are always
welcome.
Margaret Knock
One of our number (Jim) is sunning
himself in Marbella for three
months so cannot attend the
meetings but still wants to
participate and write a story for us
to discuss each month which is
really gratifying.

New SIG - Makers of History
This group is now up and running
and our first meeting will be on
Friday, 5th February at 10.00 a.m.,
and thereafter on the first Friday
morning each month. We welcome
new members to the group –
whether or not you are a historian,
you just need a bit of curiosity
about the people in the past who
have shaped the way we live now.
Tricia Francis
Philosophy
ur usual monthly meeting was a
Obit down in numbers, with one
member having left the group,
and three members being away, but
the discussion still ranged far and
wide, over, under, above and
below the main subject, which was
'The Age of Reason'. The meeting
was brightened by a new member,
Gill Collingridge, who took her
place and made some good,
positive points.
We also covered the latest
Government announcement on
drink - and we all seemed to agree
- "Everything in moderation". Our
mothers were obviously well clued
up on these things. We also talked
about Child Parenting Classes - we
wondered if these will be required
for all parents, and we didn't feel
that everyone would benefit,
although perhaps some would.
Kings Hill and District U3A
Newsletter 40 - February 2016
For our next meeting, the subject
will be "Art"
Barry Evans
Craft
During January we tackled
Kusudama projects - this is a kind of
origami. There is a lot of folding
and then a lot of glueing using pegs
and paperclips to hold each petal
and flower together prior to making
the whole ball.
The two in the pictures were made
by Pauline Haselgrave and Barbara
Stead. Pauline used Christmas
wrapping paper and Barbara used
origami paper. Barbara Williams
made some individual flowers using
pages from an old book. Next
month we are continuing with the
folding theme and this time it will
be tea bags!

The Ukulele Group has now
started!
After a very successful initial
meeting to agree the format, the
Ukulele Group is now established.
We will meet on the first and third
Wednesday in the month at 11.00
at Kings Hill Golf Club, unless we
get too loud and disturb the golfers
when we may need to relocate to a
nearby hall.
Clifford from
Maidstone U3A came along to help
get the group started and by the end
of the session everyone was
playing, and singing, Hush Little
Baby! A good start and we look
forward to our next meeting on 3rd
February.

Indoor Bowls
Do you enjoy a sporting exercise,
but prefer the indoor type, then
perhaps Indoor Bowls is for you.
This doesn't have to be just for the
winter months either, it will be
possible to play all year round.
A
new/refurbished
rink
(Tonbridge, behind Sainsbury’s), is
willing to offer preferential rates to

10-pin Bowling
We had a good gathering of 12
people for the first meeting of 2016,
from the standards of bowling the
break hadn't done any of us any
harm. With most of us scoring
around 110-120, Alan scored the
highest for the men with 142 and l
have to admit for the ladies l (Tina)
scored the top score of 175 which
to date is the highest that's been
bowled.

Golf
Five intrepid members of the Golf
SIG ventured onto a frozen West
Malling course for the January
meet. Apart from the cold, the
weather stayed fine and an
enjoyable afternoon was enjoyed
by all. The standard of golf varied
greatly between holes, but that did
Kings Hill and District U3A
Newsletter 40 - February 2016
not detract from the round. Frozen
glassy greens meant for a game akin
to crazy golf at times, but that was
all part of the fun.
Players of all standards are
welcome to join us for our monthly
meets.
Dave Urmston
Hill-Walking
The Hill Walking group has started
up and has already organised its
first trip with five members
venturing to the Black Mountains in
February.
The
group
will
provide
opportunities for walking in areas
such as the Brecon Beacons, North
Wales, Lake District, etc. I am
happy to lead such a group in the
hills, as I have a huge amount of
experience, leading groups in
mountainous regions on four
different continents. I do not
envisage undertaking particularly
arduous walks as my own physical
capabilities would certainly limit
what would be possible.
If you would like to join a future
expedition, or would like to know
more, please email me to express
your interest.

Military History
At our January meeting we
welcomed four new members to
our group, which brings us up to
maximum capacity at present. The
members heard a talk about the
battle at the "Horns of Hattin" which
took place in 1187. This was
followed by questions and answers
and a general discussion on various
topics. Our February meeting will
include a talk on a battle which
took place during the 2nd Boer
War.

Walking
Our
walk,
Peter
was a
January
led by
McKay,
repeat of
our
December’s 5 mile walk from East
Malling but we
walked it the other
way round and
made one change.
Instead of walking
the
Bridleway
through
Oaken
Woods we tool the
southern perimeter route on a wide
path this greatly reduced the
amount of mud and gave us some
good views.
Our turn out was 20 including 3
new members who were also new
to our U3A.
The walk for February is from
Dunorlan Park Tunbridge Wells
and will be led by Ken Bridge.

MOTO news for January
Another lively month for our
group, with a good post-Christmas
lunch enjoyed by 20 members at
the King & Queen, East Malling,
outings to the local cinema
Kings Hill and District U3A
Newsletter 40 - February 2016
organised by Helen and to London
theatre organised by Pauline.
A highlight for this month was a
return visit to Esme’s house
enjoying an Autoharp recital by her
friend Heather. We had a really
good session here. Heather gave us
lots of information and answered
questions from the group. Her
playing was, as ever, superb. She
then allowed people to have a go
themselves, as you can see from the
photos.
Everyone
contributed
handsomely to the lunch and a very
convivial hour (or two!) was spent
round the table.
Graham has organised a lunch at
The Bull Wrotham for the end of
January which is again well
supported.
18 members came to the monthly
meeting at The Spitfire, and we
welcomed a new member, Yvonne
to this meeting. We had a good
discussion and have a packed
programme planned for the next
few months.
If anyone else is interested in
joining MOTO, do contact me for

History of Kent group and took a
guided walk around Spitalfields to
hear primarily of its historical
connections with The Huguenots,
who were probably London's first
refugees.
Our guide for the walk Charlie De
Wet ( herself of Huguenot descent)
was so enthusiastic on the subject
she had set up a charity -The
Huguenots of Spitalfields -and that
is where the profits from our walk
were to go to fund education of the
subject matter in local schools.
After meeting at Liverpool Street
station the walking group made an
exploratory walk finding the starting
point of the Walk proper, and then
discovered the Pub recommended
by our Guide for lunch. This left a
short time to roam around the
market before we met with the
History group at Christ Church in
Spitalfields, a Hawksmoor church,
where our official walk began.

This month The London Walks
group joined forces with The

Newsletter 40 - February 2016
We learned how the Huguenots
came from France as persecuted
Page 10 of 18
protestants and set up their skills as
silk weavers and dyers in Fournier
street in magnificent Georgian
houses. At the end of the street was
the only Mosque in Britain housed
in a Georgian building. We then
turned into Brick lane which houses
refugees from Bangladesh and we
saw
a
fantastic,
overcrowded textile shop run Mrs
Bopal and took a look around The
Taj stores selling many exotic foods
at excellent prices,
We then walked down Princelet
Street, a cobbled street which
houses a Jewish museum, an old
pharmacy and an old, dilapidated
house all of which have been used
as film sets for period dramas.
We walked on passing Dennis
Severs house, a house still lit by gas
light and furnished as an 18th
century family would have lived.
we then visited an area which had
uncovered the remains 10,500
bodies whilst excavating the site of
the hospital of St Mary Spital. A
small area of these excavations is
preserved underground amongst
the new high rise buildings. The
walk finished at The Scapegoat
monument.
Kings Hill and District U3A
Newsletter 40 - February 2016
The whole area is being
modernised and our guide and
many other local inhabitants are
campaigning very hard to preserve
the history in this lesser known area
of London.
Roma Elson
History of Kent
Eleven members of the History of
Kent group were pleased to join the
London Walks group on their visit
to Spitalfields in London this
month. While not Kent, we will be
visiting the Huguenot Museum in
Rochester later this year and the
subject of this walk was "The
Huguenots of Spitalfields".
Our guide, a representative of the
Spitalfields Huguenots charity, was
very
knowledgeable
and
enthusiastic about her subject,
telling us of the many skills the
Huguenots brought with them, after
persecution in France and pointing
out where silk weavers' workshops
were, the galleried windows to let

My Top 10 - Classic Rock & Pop
January has been a bad month for
losing Rock & Pop legends; the
passing of Glenn Frey was
announced the morning of meeting;
so we included once of his most
famous "Tequila Sunrise" that he cowrote
and
sang
with
the
Eagles. This fitted well with this
month's topic "USA Road Trip"
featuring some of the most played
tracks on US radio 'Classic Rock'
stations - unfortunately there are no
similar in the UK.
So, we covered some old classics Deep Purple, Springsteen, Bryan
Adams, etc -, some new(er) Matchbox
Twenty,
Melissa
Etheridge - , and some more
obscure , as well as the ubiquitous
Tom Petty, who is everywhere on
US radio. 20 tracks which made the
2 hour journey fly past.

Birdwatching (4th Tuesdays am.)
We took a gentle walk around the
lake, but we were not blessed with
any great numbers of birds, lots of
different breeds of dog however!
One lady remarked that in the
previous week she had witnessed
approximately 20 'dead' pigeons
on the lake (apparently it was
frozen, and I guess they were too!).
We did spot 20 different species,
the most notable being kestrel, long
Kings Hill and District U3A
Newsletter 40 - February 2016
tailed tits and Great Crested Grebes.
The wind was pretty biting and we
assumed that the birdlife was
hunkering down ready to ride out
the soon to be arriving storm.
Mike Thomas
The next meeting will be on
Tuesday 23rd February at Oare
Marshes near Faversham. We will
meet in the car park by the sea wall
at 10 am. Please remember to bring
a hot drink and a snack for our stake
out in the hide! Hopefully we’ll spot
seals, long-tailed tits, avocets and
other waders. Please allow at least
2 hours at the reserve. Toilets are
available at the local Sainsbury’s
superstore.
