Active Sefton are in the process of setting up a Tea Dance at the Meadows Leisure Centre on the last Monday of the month. Once we have more information we will update this site and put a notice on the notice board.
Due to holidays we have 4 places on the canal walk this Thursday (28th September). The walk is between the Pendle Heritage Centre and Greenberfield Lock Bridge. Bridge numbers 143 and 157. The walk will be on the flat and approx 7 miles. We go by mini bus which drops us off at the start and picks us up at the end. The cost is £15. If you are interested in joining us please contact Brenda McKenzie on 531 0207 or 07900525222 or at the Group Support Table tomorrow 26th September.
We have had a lot of interest in this class. There is a limit of 20 people for each class. Active Sefton are prepared to run two classes to accommodate everyone interested. They are also willing to tailor the classes so we will have one class for the more active people and one class for people who want to take it a bit slower. The first class will start 30th October at the Meadows Sports Hall at 9am to 9.45am for 6 weeks This will be the higher impact of the two classes. The lower impact class time as yet to be finalised, so watch this space for more details. If you have shown interest in this class please confirm if you will be attending the class starting 30th October by coming to the Group Support desk on Tuesday or sending confirmation by email to mnmck21@aol.com. The classes will be free.
Lancashire Wildlife Trust are organising a guided tour of Lunt Meadows for the group, the date to be confirmed.

The foodie group met today for our usual monthly meeting and this month had the opportunity to sample Greek cuisine courtesy of Gwen, Mavis and Dot.
We tasted Kleftico, a traditional slow cooked lamb dish, feta salad, olives, baked aubergine and tomato, spiced potato wedges, tzatikii, wild rice salad, followed by desserts of fresh fruit crepes with chocolate spread, baklava, and a delicious chocolate coated almond and nougat slice, nicely washed down with a glass of ouzo. Judging by all the empty plates the Greek food was enjoyed by all.
The foodie group meet on the third Thursday of every month and is open to new members.
Six people enjoyed the sunshine on our walk last Sunday. We passed RAF Woodvale at the Freshfield Heath Nature Reserve before making our way to the beach. As the Southport Air Show was on, we were treated to an air display as we walked along. We had an enjoyable lunch at the Pinewoods pub before making our way back to the station. The walk was 6 miles. However, some people had walked to Maghull station making it over 7 miles. Our next walk will be in West Kirby on the third Sunday 15th October. This walk will be a 6 miles flat walk. However we will have a break after 3 miles. We will meet at Maghull station 10.50 everyone welcome.
