Intermediate Latin
This is our second group in Southwell, run jointly with Newark, with a dozen enthusiastic members. We are now (2023) on on the later stages of the Cambridge Latin Course so are no longer "beginners"! We have room for one or two more members who already have some fluency with the language. We meet on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays in the Library, from 10.00.

Latin - Language and Literature
This group was formed out of the original Latin Group set up over ten years ago shortly after Southwell U3a was founded, as a "Latin for Improvers". The more recent title reflects the progress its members have been making over these years. It is suitable for members with a reasonable competence in Latin who would like to improve their knowledge of the language and read some Latin authors in their original and unaltered format. If this interests you, but you are in doubt as to your level, please do contact us or give us a try.
The Group meets every other Monday by Zoom and holds the occasional social get together.
The meetings are divided into two distinct 40 minutes sessions, so it is possible to attend one or the other if that is preferred. The first session follows a course of study using text books written for GCSE and post GCSE students which take us to the standard of the old “O” level in the 1950s and 1960s. In the second session we read passages from Latin literature with the help of notes, both prose and poetry.
The Group is run on an informal basis with members deciding whether or not they wish to offer translations or to observe and enjoy the discussions which flow from the texts.
