13 people joined us on 25th of September for a 5 mile walk from Moreton to Hoylake. The day

Recent visit to West Kirby
The day went well helped by the lovely weather. Our first port of call was the Dee Hotel a Wetherspoons which had a good selection of ales, then up the road to the White Lion where most of us tried a ruby ale (I think this was on the turn!) We left here and doubled back on our tracks to the West Kirby Tap which has a very good selection on offer my favourites being the Vanilla Stout and award winning Abyss by Neptune Brewery in Maghull.
I suggest on any future outings to further afield that we meet at 11am as valuable drinking time is wasted travelling!
Our last meeting saw Norman Stalford on
“Move it, Shift it, Move it”, a very detailed, but excellent presentation on moving and lifting throughout the ages.
He gave deatailed numbers for the huge lifting capacities of the latest systems and ended with images of the new dockside cranes in Liverpool.
Our next meeting is 28th on IoT – The Internet of Things
