Today 19 people completed the Sunday walk. We headed over the water on the ferry, on what turned out to be a bright sunny day. Some members walked from Seacombe to New Brighton, which was about 3.5 miles. Others walked there and back from Seacombe to New Brighton about 6.5 miles, whilst others walked from Brunswick to the Pier Head and then, there and back from Seacombe to New Brighton which was about 8.5 miles when we got back to Moorfield station.

British History Group

Posted on 19th March 2017 by philcdav

This popular group, led by Geoff Kean has been in abeyance for a while due to Geoff’s ill health. Although Geoff himself is much better, his wife Jenny now has a serious illness for which she has started treatment recently. In view of this Geoff has decided that he will be unable to restart the British History group as planned.

We would like to record our thanks to Geoff for his valuable contribution to our U3A since we began back in 2006; he has been an inspirational leader of a number of different groups. We all extend to Geoff and Jenny our love and thoughts at this difficult time.

Geoff has said he would be very happy to see the British History group re-form under new leadership. If this is something you feel you could do, or help with, please speak to Brenda McKenzie or any member of the Group Support team.

WALKING NETBALL

Posted on 18th March 2017 by brenmck

Five of our members attended taster sessions run by Netball England at West Lancs College in Skelmerdale. It is hoped that they will run more taster sessions maybe on a Friday morning. Members of Parbold U3A have joined forces with us and we are hoping that between the two U3A’s we will be able to attract enough members to make a walking netball group viable. The sessions have run for 1 hour and consist of 30 minute warm up, and 30 minute for games. It has proved to be great fun and a really good way of keeping fit. If you are interested please send a text to Brenda McKenzie on 07900525222 or come to the Group Support desk at Tuesday coffee morning on 28th March. Men are welcome to join the group.

NORDIC WALKING

NORDIC WALKING GROUP

Only two more Monday evening walks at Maghull before we move back to Lydiate on 3rd April, 2017 for our longer walks of 1hr 30mins. The photograph shows some of the group on a recent walk around Maghull. Whilst the weather on some of our walks has been cold, windy and wet, our loyal hardy walkers have braved the winter months and we are now enjoying the lighter nights and the start of spring. We are all looking forward to those balmy summer night walks in the countryside around Lydiate. Why not come and join us?

Happy Nordic Walking Ian, Brenda & John
