Canal Walking- available space
The canal walking group at present walking the Liverpool/Leeds canal. We have now reached Burnley and are walking from the Inn on the Wharfe to Pendle Heritage Centre, in August. Due to holidays we have one available space on the mini bus if anyone would like to join us on 24th August. This walk is approx 7 miles. Please ring Brenda McKenzie on 07900525222 or come to group support desk tomorrow 15th August if you are interested.
20th August Sunday Strollers
We will be meeting for this walk at Maghull Station at 10.30 not the usual time of 11 o,clock. The walk which will be lead by Judith will be from Moreton Station to Hoylake. This is a flat 5 mile walk along the front. It is hoped to have lunch at the Ship Inn in Hoylake . Please let Brenda or Judith know if you intend on coming so we can book lunch. The pictures below are when we did this walk last year. Bring your pass if you have one.
New Group – Bird Watching
Enough people have shown interest in this group so we will have a meeting after the notices have been read on 19th September at the Baptist Church. It is hoped it will be a self learning group, so if you have some knowledge on the subject and would be willing to share that with others that would be great. Like all new groups the hardest thing is to get it going. If you would be interesting in helping lead this group please come and have a chat at the Group Support desk on a Tuesday morning or ring me on 0151 531 0207.
Walking netball group
With the support of Netball England we are going to start walking netball sessions on a Friday morning 9.30 to 10.30 at West Lancs College in Skelmersdale (next to ASDA). Everyone is welcome, this is a fun way to keep fit. Some of our members have been on taster sessions and the feedback was very positive. One of the issues raised was that some people do not have transport to get to the college, this is not an issue as other members are willing to provide lifts. Please let me know if you are interested either at the coffee morning or by ringing 0151 531 0207.
