Walking Netball – New Course
Walking Netball is a slowed down version of the game of netball designed for anyone looking to exercise in a relaxed, supportive and friendly environment. It is suitable for all ages and abilities and every session contains a gentle warm-up. Men are welcome to join in.
Netball England are providing taster sessions for 4 weeks starting 5th May, at 10.30 to 11.30 at West Lancs College in Skelmersdale Campus WN8 6DX. These sessions are FREE and provide a great opportunity to try a new skill or improve the skill you already have. It helps build your confidence to know you can still do things you did when you were younger. Members who took part in the last sessions, shared they felt 14 again!!!!
I have been in contact with other U3A’s and members from Parbold, Mawdsley and Ormskirk and Aughton will be joining us. To join us please come to Group Support desk on a Tuesday or ring Brenda McKenzie on 0151 531 0207 or send a text with your details to 07900525222.

Thanks to all those who turned up in Ormskirk. Despite the Hop Inn being shut we managed to enjoy a few pints in the Court Leet and Cricketers. On our next meet up we will be going to Formby on 28th April meeting at Maghull Station in time to catch the 12 noon train. We will arrive at Formby about 1250 where we will first visit the Railway then the Lifeboat. After here we head back to the station and catch the train to Freshfield and pop into the Beer Engine micro pub and the Freshfield.

Foodie Group – Barge March 17
Foodie Group – Taste of Hungary
Margaret introduced a ‘Taste of Hungary’ by explaining that, after a Scout Troop visit from Hungary, one of the Scouts, Balazs came to work every summer on their farm. Margaret and Bill were invited to Hungary in return for their hospitality and so were introduced to Hungarian food.
Palinka, fermented from fruit, was drunk early in the morning so, of course, we had to try that! Margaret also told us about going early one morning to caves where a long table was dressed with cheese, wild boar pate and peppers. We then tasted these traditional foods followed by Chicken Stroganoff made by Cheryl and Goulash made by Pat.
Our taster session ended with Poppy Seed Cake.
Foodie Group @ L20 – March 16th
Members of the Foodie Group enjoyed a wonderful Irish Tasting menu with some of us trying things we had not had before and thoroughly enjoying them. The student staff were excellent and the food delicious, at very moderate prices. We will return!
