There are scheduled Canasta groups playing on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday twice a month (apart from July & August) as follows: 

Canasta 1:  1st and 3rd Mondays at 1.55pm in arranged member's home.
Canasta 2:  2nd and 4th Thursdays at 2.00pm in arranged member's home.
Canasta 3:  2nd and 4th Tuesdays at 9.30am in arranged member's home.
Canasta 4:  2nd and 4th Monday at 1.55pm in arranged member's home
Canasta 5:  2nd and 4th Thursdays at 2.00pm in member's home in Farnsfield:  This is a new group and currently has vacancies for  beginners and more experienced players.
 
Canasta is a card game that was very popular in the sixties. These days we play an addictive version known as TREY CANASTA or BOLIVIA PLUS which is in the true spirit of a “learning and challenging U3A”  coupled with an accent on “continuous improvement”.   Ideally we need 12 or 8 players per session as with canasta to have players “sitting  out” is not really practical. Therefore, each group operates a strict apology policy of ‘at least 60 hrs prior’ notice so that the listed “stand-bys” can be contacted to fill in if necessary and are free to do so.
 
There is a convener\facilitator  for each  group. Plus, the U3A's National Subject Advisor for  Canasta and its derivatives  is also involved with the establishment of ‘Canasta’ in Southwell and several adjacent U3A’s.
