Proposed New Group - Spanish Beginners
Some people are interested in setting up a Spanish Beginners Group. This proposed new Group needs a Group Leader. This doesn't have to be an expert; just someone to lead activities. The national u3a have a leader in this subject who can provide resources.

CIPHERS
Peter Beresford would like to set up a cipher group.
The National Cipher Challenge is an annual competition which has been running since 2002, setting several code-breaking challenges. Anyone who likes solving puzzles might be interested. The competition is aimed at secondary school pupils, but other people can take part informally. The ten challenges are issued weekly from October to December, increasing in difficulty week by week. No previous experience of codes and ciphers is assumed - just the fun of solving puzzles and learning about the history of secret codes. Although the initial focus could be on the National Challenge, there would be plenty of scope for a continuing group.
If you want more information or would like to join the group, please contact: Judith Lloyd
