Proposed Groups

Comedy Improvisation (Improv)

A new member with significant experience of running Comedy Improv groups is interested in setting up one for our rru3a.

"Comedy improvisation, or improv, is a form of live theatre where performers spontaneously create scenes, dialogue, and characters on the spot, without a script or prior planning. The performance is unplanned and unrehearsed, often using suggestions from the audience to inspire the content and prove its spontaneity. There is a TV series called ‘Whose Line is it Anyway” which is still airing in the USA and used to be very popular in the UK hosted by Clive Anderson.

The greatest thing about improv is that you cannot fail, as improv is all about not getting it right and having a laugh. We will play a few games as a group which are great fun and we will create scenes together which will be spontaneous, fun and entertaining.  Each week we will play different games and do scenes, which is a lovely way of working together as improv is all about supporting each other and of course fun.  These workshops are a great way of keeping in good mental health."

Psychology

Due to the success of the first Psychology group we are looking for a few more members to set up a second one early in 2026.

Group Activities

Ukulele

The newly expanded group meeting at their new venue, the Earlswood Baptist Church Hall. A happy band of players!

The Earth and Environmental Science group on a field trip to Rye Harbour. We had a fabulous day looking at shingle banks, longshore drift, saline lagoons, sea kale, yellow horned poppies, vipers bugloss and various birds including whiteears, egrets and curlews.

The visitor centre, cafe and weather were fantastic which also helped.
