Amalfi
Our aim is to improve our conversational skills; we will be talking about what we've done during the previous week and future plans, items from the news, hobbies, holidays - anything that interests you.
The group would suit those with reasonable knowledge of the language,
e.g. ability to use the past, present and future tenses / GCSE standard / 3 years of classes.
If the majority of the group are interested, we could use a text book for extra practice,
to extend our grammatical knowledge and to stimulate discussion.
Conversation group – November 2009
An influx of new members this year has kept things lively and interesting: my grateful thanks to the group for keeping us entertained with accounts of holidays, items from the news, amusing anecdotes and descriptions of their hobbies and interests. Thanks also to those members who have kept the group running during my occasional absences. Meetings re-start after Christmas on Wednesday January 6, 10am at the Castle Street Centre, and run through to April 28.

Beginner’s group – November 2009
This new group proved so popular that we have had to close the list. We have got off to a promising start, and my thanks to everyone for their enthusiasm, efforts, attentiveness and willingness to ‘have a go’. We will be moving to the Castle Street Centre after Christmas, with meetings scheduled at 1.30pm on January 5 and 19: February 2 and (please note) 23: March 2 and 16: April 6 and 20.

After our second successful year, our meetings start again on Wednesday 9 September at the Castle Street Centre at 10am. We will then meet every week at the same time and place until our final autumn meeting on 16 December. If you can express yourself in the past, present and future in Italian and would like to join us, please contact Ian Hatwell.

March 2009
We have had several new recruits to the group, widening our range of topics and making every single meeting an interesting one. We always have at least one funny story and constantly learn about new areas of Italy and unusual hobbies and interests. Our last meeting before the summer break will be on Wednesday 20 May and we start again on 9 September.
We are sad to record the passing of Sylvia Pye, an amusing, talented and enthusiastic member of our group.
Please see The News and Notices page for details of a new beginners' group.
