Games, Crosswords & Trivia
21GAM01: ZM Cryptic C/words - Beginners Plus Prac Type: Long Course
Dates: 10/02/2021 - 24/11/2021 Frequency: Weekly Course, Wed 11:30 - 13:30
Location: Zoom internet delivery Tutor: Russ Incoll
Includes school holidays. This course is not for beginners. Zoom course all year. It is for people with some
knowledge of cryptic crosswords who want to hone their skills. Each week two cryptic crosswords will be emailed to
class members together with a hint sheet to help if needed. Class members will try to solve these two crosswords.
The class session will discuss and explain the clues that were difficult or that were hard to understand. Solving
cryptic crosswords is a wonderful pastime and it is good for your brain. Looking at words in new ways to find
alternative meanings helps to develop parts of the brain that you may not use so often, boosting brain power and
memory. Plus, you get a real buzz when you find the solution to a really hard clue. Even if you have to look up the
answer, you still get pleasure from appreciating the skill and reasoning of the setter, as well as learning for next
time.
The course will further prepare you to start solving cryptic crosswords on your own or prepare you for the Cryptic
Crossword Intermediate course. You will need to have completed the Cryptic Crosswords for Beginners, or have a

learning the basics of completing cryptic crosswords. We will learn about the more common cryptic clue types and
work through examples, from anagrams to containers, homophones to reversals, alterations to puns. Types of clues

crosswords. This course will prepare you to start solving cryptic crosswords on your own or prepare you for the

thoughts that hinder you from enjoying yourself. It may also help you to improve your sleep quality. You will learn the
three basic mindfulness skills and will have the opportunity to practise them until they become second nature. You
will also learn to observe without judging which will sharpen your ability to see people and situations more clearly.
This is a genuine workshop where you will be given ample opportunities to discuss anything with the presenter and
others in attendance.

people to do what we want without upsetting them. It's part of our daily lives to have to deal with service providers,
tradespeople, bureaucrats, shop assistants, family and friends. If you would like to improve your ability to influence
others, sign up to this course. The content will include: How to make a good first impression; styles of influencing -
informed choice; corridor negotiating; building stronger relationships; how to build trust; giving and receiving
constructive feedback; assertive or aggressive? Influencing is a learned skill. You can get better with practice and
feedback. This is an opportunity to make new friends and improve your influencing skills. Make the jump. Sign up!

others. Both parties will benefit from this interaction. Listening to others is the gift that keeps on giving. Topics will
include: How to really listen and give your undivided attention to others; The barriers to quality listening; Four
fundamental listening skills; When to listen - when to speak; Developing an attitude of curiosity; Listening to
emotions; Motivational interviewing; Mindful listening

Excludes school holidays. This course will include the story of the Buddha’s life, the 4 Noble Truths and the Noble
8-fold Path, What is Enlightenment?, the Buddha’s definition of wisdom and the importance of heart. Within these
subjects we will discover 30 Tools for daily living drawn directly from the Buddha’s teachings including values,
meditation, mindfulness and contemplation. The course will suit both beginners and experienced meditators. It will
emphasise practice – because through practising the 30 Tools you can increase your resilience, contentment and
happiness in whatever situation arises in your life – ‘normal’ or ‘new normal’. This is not religion. No belief is
involved, no rules imposed. The Tools and support for your practice are provided. The rest is up to you! Each
session will include explanation of some of the Tools for living, practice, questions and discussion. Full course notes
will be provided. You are most welcome to join us!
This course will introduce you to a way of living a rewarding human life in the daily outer world and on your own
inner journey. You can practise the Tools to whatever depth you choose. Initially your practice will yield an
increased ease in your life. If you feel adventurous and wish to explore more, your practice can take you to the
farthest reaches of the human ‘inner journey’ where you ‘see things as they really are’ as the Buddha puts it. NOTE:
This course has already run on Zoom, hosted by U3A Network Victoria, with participants from all over the State.
Both Pip and the participants are enjoying it, and finding communication in a group still works on Zoom.

Location: Zoom internet delivery Tutor: Pip Ransome
Excludes school holidays. This course will build on Pip’s ‘Introduction to the Buddha’s Teachings’ [IBT] course,
which is a pre-requisite. Selected discourses given by the Buddha, and Pip’s ‘30 Mindfulness and Meditation Tools’
booklet will continue to be used as resources. All 3 aspects of the Noble 8-fold Path will be covered - Path of
Wholesome Living, Path of Calm and Path of Insight. The ‘3 Wholesome Roots’ will be encouraged. Meditations will
be the same basic four as in the IBT course but will be practised for up to 45 minutes at a time. Insight practice –
curiosity and detailed inspection of phenomena, small and large – and sharing the resulting insights, will be a focus.
Pip’s aim will be to have less ‘teaching’ and more shared discussion. She would be thrilled to welcome participants
from the Zoom IBT course held in Term 4 2020.
NOTE: This course is available to members of U3As throughout Victoria. There is a pre-requisite of at least one
term completed of Pip’s ‘Introduction to the Buddha’s Teachings’ course.
