Everyone you tell that you are going to walking netball smile and then laugh. Little do they know how difficult it is not to run, but having said that it is still very good exercise. We meet at West Lancashire College in Skelmersdale and use their exc
ellent facilities also we have the help of their sports tutor. We start off with warming up exercises then move on to play 10 mins each way, this may not sound very much but I can assure you it is. What could be better than keeping fit and having fun as well. Cheryl Mercer.  New members welcome.

Pedal Pushers minus the photographer!

The Pedal pushers is an intermediate cycling group who meet on a Wednesday morning and cycle on average 12-15 miles per session. A coffee stop is always included in the ride! We have started on our 2018 cycling programme which makes use of the abundant cycle tracks in the Sefton area and further afield. At the moment the group is at capacity numbers as we are mindful of the inconvenience which may be caused by large groups of cyclists travelling on Merseyrail. However if anyone is interested in the group please contact Bill Ashton 0151 285 1817.

After the success of our Zumba 1 class on Monday morning, Zumba 2 started three weeks ago on a Friday afternoon.  The feedback from both classes has been very positive.  One of ladies shared “its just want we needed” another “love it, love it, love it”.  The music used is proving very popular.   We are very grateful to Active Sefton for providing 6 free sessions for our members and as with Zumba 1, Zumba 2 will continue on a pay as you go system when the free sessions have finished.  There are now enough people on the waiting list for the Friday afternoon for another class and Active Sefton are prepared to offer the ladies on the list a free course, the only problem we have now is trying to find a slot.  So watch this space in the future for Zumba 3.  We would all like to thank Collette our fabulous teacher.

February – I cannot believe that it is two years since the Real Ale Appreciation Group first met up in Frank Hornby!  As we did last year we will have this month’s gathering there on Friday 23rd February from 1230pm.

March – There will be no meet up in March as I am away on holiday but there will be two meet ups in April.

April – On Saturday 7th April I am planning another visit to Connoisseur Brewery in St Helens.  We will be catching the 1100 train from Maghull in time for the 1147 from Lime Street.  If people want to we can also visit a few local real ale pubs.  This was a really enjoyable day last year and the pork pies sold at the brewery are delicious!  On Friday 27th April we will travel into Liverpool and visit the pubs around the Dale Street area. Meet in the Ship and Mitre at 1230.
