BADMINTON 3 ?

Badminton 1 and 2 have both been full for some time.  The leader of Badminton 2, June Avery has looked in to the possibility of starting a third group if there are people out there who would like to play badminton.   Badminton 2 meet at Hudson School on a Tuesday night at 6.30 to 8pm.  An idea would be, the new group could meet at 5.15 to 6.15 on the same night at Hudson and two members of Badminton 2 would come early to help to get the new group get up and running.  We would need at least 8 people to make this idea work.  If you are interested come to the Group Support desk on a Tuesday morning or ring Brenda Mckenzie on 0151 531 0207.

Recorder Group Started

recordersAt last we have started a music group, thanks to Christine Otim and Lynne Maloret.

Nine people attended the first session of the recorder group today. There were 5 treble recorder players and 4 descant recorders. Most people were beginners with a few having played some years ago at school. They managed to learn 3 notes together and played their first piece of music!!!!. They have no plans to become expert musicians, but to join together for a fun time playing popular music. They meet at 11.00 in the sanctuary of Maghull Baptist Church on a Tuesday when the U3A coffee morning is just about to finishing. If you would like to know more contact Lynne on 0151 526 4490 or come to the Group Support desk on a Tuesday Morning.
