Buildings and Cities Group
The Pen Whisperers: Have between 7 and 10 regular members who share a love of the written word. They meet twice a month, 2nd and fourth Monday mornings from 9.45, usually at the same home in Ocean Beach Road, Mt. Maunganui. After a cuppa and chat the group reads aloud any set homework.
Writing exercises include anything from spelling tests, spending 15 minutes writing in another style (like Shakespeare or Charles Dickens or Sam Hunt!), or creating a monosyllabic short story (a story with words of one syllable), and other brain food tests. When time permits they read their own work which may be commented on, and edited individually or collectively.
This year the convenor is: Ann French, phone 576-5624

Practical Art Group
Now only 1 group which meets on 2nd & 4th Fridays of the month, 9.30a.m – noon except January, at the Tauranga Society of Artists’ rooms in Elizabeth Street West. We have a tutor once a month and on the other sessions we follow our own inclinations or may decide on a group activity. The Convener is Marilyn Coverdale 575 5236
Each Tutor is chosen to show a range of different mediums of art. Both Groups are sociable, friendly and helpful. Many of the group’s members are beginners. Some members have been fortunate enough to have sold their creations. No one should hesitate to join us if they want to fulfill a long held desire to try their hand at creating artistic work on paper.
Science Today:
The Science Today group meets at 9.45 am on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month, usually at 1 Buckingham Place, Bethlehem. We usually start with coffee and snacks followed by the main agenda. Sometimes this is a presentation by one of the group, sometimes it may be a DVD or other recording. Some of the topics we have covered include bioluminescence, pyrolysis of old tyres for roadmaking, genetics of haemophilia, ion engines, building the Taipei 101 tower and a North Sea oil platform, selenium and health, eye surgery, climate change, and we had one practical session extracting DNA from kiwifruit.
