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.
