2017 Walk Leaders meeting
A walk leaders meeting will be held on Tuesday 29th November, at 11:15 in the coffee room, to finalise the new walk programme for 2017. All walks will now take place on 1st Thursday of each month to prevent clashes with the Architecture group.
It is proposed to organise a selection of walks to suit all abilities, with a short walk being up a maximum of 5 miles and a longer walk up to 10 miles. Walks will start from the same point and walkers can decide which they wish to attempt. Walkers will be responsible for their own choice depending on their individual fitness levels..

Leader Ian Gent
The Toby Carvery requires numbers before we set out, so, if you intend to join us on December 8th please give your name to me at the Walking Desk, or, if I am not there add your name to the list pinned on the notice board.

Four Liverpool Parks/Gardens
Thursday 10th November saw us walking from St Michael’s Station to Princes Park, Sefton Park , Otterspool Park then lunch at the Otterspool Harvester and finally through the Festival Gardens and back to St Michael’s. The weather was, in the main, dry with the occasional sharp shower. My thanks to Margaret Schumacher for leading sixteen of us safely around the course.

Canal Walking Group
The joys of walking on the Leeds – Liverpool Canal
Our first walk of the U3A Leeds/Liverpool canal group took place on 27th October, almost 246 years to the day after the first sod was cut on 5th Nov 1770.
14 walkers set out from near the appropriately named Ship Inn at Haskayne, led by an energetic Judith Jones at 1030, arriving at Burscough 3hrs later which included a canal-side alfresco packed lunch near Heaton’s Bridge.
Christmas Carol Concert
The annual Carol Concert will take place on Tuesday 13th Decem
ber, 10:30 to 11:30 in the Sanctuary. This year the concert will feature a choir, Singing our Socks Off, (also known as SoSo, but this is far from the truth!) Several U3A members are part of this choir so come along and see them in action!
Tickets are priced £1:00 available from the membership desk, and includes refreshments after the concert.
All proceeds will be donated to Woodlands Hospice.
