This group started 20th October and meet at West Lancs College on a Friday morning at 9.30 to 10.30. It takes less than 15 minutes to get there by car and there is plenty of free car parking. People are willing to give lifts so if you are interested come to the Group Support desk on a Tuesday morning or ring 0151 531 0207. Walking Netball is a slower version of the game; it is netball, but at a walking pace. The game has been designed so that anyone can play it regardless of age or fitness level.
Women the length of the country have begun playing the game of Walking Netball for the fun, laughter and camaraderie the social session brings, as much as the health benefits on offer. 
The final briefing for our Eastbourne break will be on Tuesday next 24th October 2017 at ll.30am in the Coffee Room. Please try to be there to pick up relevant information. Many thanks
The foodie group met today and it was great to welcome 3 new members, taking the number in the group up to 20. Following the theme of sampling cuisine from different countries it was turn of myself and Jill today to provide tasters from Japan. Jill unfortunately was not able to attend but sent some delicious Japanese Mochi for us to sample. This is a Japanese rice cake which is pounded into a paste and then shaped. We tried some containing chocolate and also some with peanut butter centres coated in coconut (which can be seen in the gallery), both of which were delicious. Continue reading

Theatre- a reminder that as we will have a Christmas break from 12th Dec to 9th Jan people must book and pay for their various concert tickets. There are also still tickets for Giselle available.
Walking netball starts this Friday- make contact with Brenda for more info.
Philosophy 18th Oct 2.30 at Kensington House.
Finally, congratulations to Maghull Station Volunteers as they have won the Environmental Award at the Maghull Civic Awards.
Unfortunately due to a misprint in the latest newsletter the date for the foodie group meetings is incorrect. We meet at St James Church Hall, Green Lane, Maghull at 10:30 on the 3rd Thursday each month NOT the 1st Thursday as printed.
Apologies to the lady who attempted to join the group on the 1st Thursday. We hope to see you this week 19th October, when we will be sampling Japanese Food. New members are welcome…just turn up.
