ART

Whether you like to paint, to draw, or maybe to make jewelry, you are welcome to join our club and spend quality time with others. There are no teachers in the club - only friendly advice and sharing of ideas.

Besides spending our time on our favorite creative activity, we will try to visit exhibitions, take some master classes, and explore different art disciplines.

Don't be afraid to express yourself! Let's be creative together!

BOOKS

Join our Books Interest Club to read novels written by Russian, Uzbek and English writers. Every month we pick a book, read it, and then meet to share our insights and opinions.

We meet once a month, on Saturday morning (usually somewhere outside or in a café) to make it possible for working women to join.

(I have a separate Book Club for women in Russian if you would like to practice your Russian. Just call me or send me a Telegram message.)

BRIDGE

Bridge is a social game. It’s a great way of getting out and meeting new people. It’s a good excuse for friends to meet regularly, enjoy a few games and exchange news and gossip.

Bridge also stimulates both the left and right sides of your brain. Every time you play, you use - and improve - your skills in communication, logic, math, memory, visualization and psychology.

Usually we play bridge on Saturdays. Husbands are welcome!
