Active Sefton are looking to start a 6 week free relaxation course  starting Thursday August 2nd to 6 September.  To start this course we need 10 people who are aged 65 and over, male or female, and who have not attended either of the Zumba classes run by Active Sefton with Maghull and Lydiate U3A.  Once we have met this criteria we can then take names from ladies who attend or have attended either of the Zumba classes.  The classes will be held at St Andrews Parish Hall which is on the corner of Damfield Lane and Deyes Lane.

If you are interested please come to the Group Support Desk on a Tuesday morning or ring or text Brenda McKenzie on 07900525222

A table of goodies!

The foodie group met today to sample recipes of rice and grains. We sampled  Nasi Goreng, an Indonesian stir fried rice recipe made with chicken breast ; Help yourself tuna rice salad, a dish which the family can dip into whenever they wish; Old fashioned rice salad; a slimming world recipe full of vegetables and other delicious ingredients, and Cranachan; a traditional Scottish dessert of oats, cream, whisky, honey and raspberries, which is a delicious alternative to trifle. Although we only have “tasters” I doubt many foodie group members eat lunch after our meetings! Our topic next month is “pies” so forks at the ready!
