Parking
Maghull Baptist Church have asked that we make sure we don’t park on the grass around the car park as it is getting damaged.
Walking group: Thursday 1st Feb walk
The group are doing 2 walks in the area of Rhewl Near Ruthin N Wales. Short walk is approx 5 miles and the long walk in approx. 7 miles. There are a few stiles and it may be muddy in parts so please dress accordingly
Lunch afterwards in the Drovers Arms Pub.
SUNDAY LUNCH GROUP
Unfortunately, I will not be available for three weekends in March (holidays) so there will not be a Sunday lunch this month.
However, if anyone is willing to organise something I will help.

Sunday Strollers
Today 11 of us walked from Old Roan to Maghull and then 4 others members joined us for lunch at Scrummies. We all agreed the scouse was great and the weather was as kind as it could be to us and we only had light rain when we were walking. We have sorted out our walks for 2018 and will be going to Chester, Carr Mill Dam, New Brighton, Ormkirk (War Horse Walk) Southport, West Kirby, all using our bus passes. If you want more information come to Group Support Desk on a Tuesday morning.
SUNDAY STROLLERS 21st January
Sunday Strollers will be walking this Sunday 21st January. We will get the 11 o clock train from Maghull to Old Roan and walk back along the canal to Maghull. This is a flat 4.5 mile walk, the walking surface is good and we plan to have lunch at Scrummies at 1.15pm. We need to book for lunch so need numbers by Friday. If the weather is not suitable to walk we still intend to go for lunch and discuss what walks we are going to do this year. Please ring 0151 531 0207 or 07900525222 and speak to John or Brenda. Below are pictures when we did the recce last week. As you can see we were lucky with the weather it was very cold but sunny so a very enjoyable walk. Some times we do not appreciate what is on our door step!!!.
