Yesterdays  speaker meeting featured the wit and imagination of Richie Baker, aka Richie the Ranger, who entertained us with his mysterious talk of Ghosts, Murders and Mysteries. Using his vast knowledge of the Liverpool Parks, where he was Ranger for over 40 years, he told us of the ghostly sights and apparitions related to three of them. Ably assisted by two willing U3A volunteers, he recounted the tales of three hapless ladies said to haunt the areas following their tragic deaths.

Regrettably this was the last in the series of speaker meetings which will be held, due to continued low attendance numbers, as the cost of room hire and speaker fees is outstripping the entrance monies and I am mindful of use of U3A financial resources. I would like to thank members who have attended the meetings, and hope you agree that we “went out on a high”.
