Dance Fit returns this Friday 6th September at the Meadows Leisure Centre, from 2.30 to 3.15.  We need 14 regular members for this group to continue to cover costs. It is a great way to keep fit and have fun.  Our qualified teacher Collette tailors the session to the group.

You will come out of the session feeling great.  A good way to start the weekend!

We are looking into the possibility of holding a quiz night on Saturday 19th October at St George Social Club in Station Road.  If you are interested please come to the Group Support desk on a Tuesday and let us know.  Phil Davidson has volunteered to be our Quiz Master,  Hopefully this could be a fun social evening.

The Real Ale Group has steadily increased in members and last week started a waiting list.  The Group considered starting a second group but we would need to find a new leader to run this group and no one in the group was willing to do this.  However, this could be an option if one of our members would be willing to lead a second group.

The group decided to increase the times they meet and instead of meeting once a month they would meet twice a month.  The group then decided as many of the Real Ale events now include Gin Tasting they would have Real Ale on one of the meetings and Gin Tasting on the other.  The ladies on the waiting list were invited to join the Gin Tasting meeting which starts next month,  They have taken up the offer so the Group no longer has a waiting list.

We are always looking for new leaders if you think you could run a group come to the Group Support desk on a Tuesday morning or text Brenda McKenzie on 07900525222

Could this be a new group.!!!!   Are you interested in joining us on this easy to follow programme known the world over, and perfect for those new to running and need some extra support and motivation along the way.

We would use the Couch to 5K app which features a choice of 5 great trainers to support and motivate you at every step of the way, telling you when to run/jog and when to walk, from broadcaster and former Olympian Michael Johnson, comedians Sarah Millican and Sanjeev Kohli, BBC presenter Jo Whiley, and our very own Laura, who have now helped over 2 million people like you start their own running journeys. I personally like Michael Johnson to talk me through it!!!!

Today’s U3A Day Riders, together with friend from Ormskirk and Aughton U3A, set off from The Derby Arms to ride to Rainford where we were treated to an impromptu tea party in Peter Dow’s lovely garden. Once refreshed with tea, coffee and scones we set off once again. The ride took us up Billinge Hill and on into St. Helens. On the return journey our energy reserves were topped up at Lavender Farms Cafe. An excellent ride in excellent company.

Next Monday’s ride will be to Tarleton and Homeswood. Meet at 1000hrs, Ormskirk Railway Station.
