Economics is a very important but little understood subject that governs all our lives. We are a group of enthusiasts with varying degrees of expertise who come together once a month to air opinions and discuss issues relating to economics. The structure is fairly informal but currently we are working our way through a book which serves to provide one of the topics for each session.


on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday
Date/Time 10.00-12.00
We sight-read Shakespeare's plays after a brief introduction to each play. We will be starting the 2026-2027 year with “Two Noble Kinsmen” by Shakespeare and Fletcher. We will be also looking at the works of some fellow playwrights to see what the impact was on the works of Shakespeare. We welcome new members to this group.


every Monday
Date/Time 10.00-12.00
Estimations is known by many names (Up and Down, Oh Hell etc.), and is more interesting than Whist, less complex (or serious) than Bridge. It is played without partners, easy to learn and a lot of fun. We are a welcoming group and do not require weekly attendance.


every Monday
Date/Time 15.00-16.30
This is a small group for complete beginners who want to get a flavour of French and learn the basics of French conversation, with the emphasis on speaking, listening and gaining confidence and the goal of learning enough to manage everyday situations. Sorry, but there is a long waiting list. Please see the webpage and/or contact the leader for the latest information.


on the 3rd Friday
Date/Time 10.00-12.00
We focus on the geology of the Malvern area and adjacent counties as well as wider geological issues both national and international. This includes the interaction between geology and landscapes and buildings and monuments. In the winter there are talks by visiting speakers and in the summer, visits and field trips both locally and abroad. We have a comprehensive library of maps, leaflets and books and encourage small group research. See the Group website for further information.


on the 2nd and 4th Thursday
Date/Time 14.00-16.00
