24 people took part in the monthly walk today. Leaving from Ormskirk Station the long walk group followed the route of the War Horses travelling though Ormskirk out to Lathom Chapel where over 120,000 horses and mules were trained for use at the front in WW1. The chapel today is still a functioning place of worship and is surrounded by traditional alms houses which can be rented for the princely sum of £125 per month, although the criteria for rental is very specific and hard to achieve.

FRENCH VISITOR
To-day, our French Group met at Marie’s house because our normal venue was being used for elections. All 16 of us gathered together and we had the pleasure of meeting Vincent, who is living and studying in Liverpool. We all had the opportunity to ask him a question about his life, both here and in France, his views on the French political situation, about his family etc. It was really encouraging for all of us to realise how far we had come in our French conversation and he was such a pleasure to talk to. All thanks to Marie, our Leader,who arranged for Vilncent to visit us to-day and who works so hard to keep us on our toes. She is a Taskmaster in the nicest possible way!. Even her cakes and biscuits are so good. (Vincent with a section of our group)
