Our philosophy group meets on the third Wednesday of each month. We are a very friendly group, with no experts, just people who are interested in finding out what the meaning of life is all about, and what great thinkers have had to say about it. Our discussions have ranged from Plato to the philosophy of walking and lots in between. If you feel you would like to explore Philosophy come along and you will receive a warm welcome and no prior experience of Philosophy is needed
We recommence after our summer break on Wednesday 18th September 2.30pm Kensington House. Our topics for this meeting will be Greek Philosophers ( a re look ) we will also look at the current concept of ” KARMA”. and plan our programme for the year.

Coming Soon:
12 hardy walkers donned their boots today for the first walk of 2018.Both groups walked together as we had decided to do a meander rather than a yomp to ease the group into the new walking year. Starting at Crosby Lakeside Leisure Centre we strode along the boardwalk and then did a semi-circuit of the Marine lake to reach the promenade. It was necessary here to tackle a very sand filled path, where there was much evidence of the recent high Spring tides with a large amount of flotsam and jetsam strewn along the shore and the path. We managed to stay dry in spite of high tide and having reached the coastguard station took the route through the parks to return back to our start point at Marine Terrace, some 5.5 miles from our start. Emerging from our welcome drinks at Waterloo place we were amazed to find that the wind had become very strong, and were glad that we had completed our first walk in calm weather. The next walk will be on Thursday 1st February, Lady Bagot’s Drive, Rhewl, North Wales. Further details in due course.
