25 of us had a great ramble today in the countryside around Rivington Pike. The weather was beautiful. After the early morning frost, the sun came out and we walked under a clear blue sky and no wind. We set off from Great House Barn and followed the tracks across Breres meadows. The leaders had chosen a lower route than the ascent to the pike, due to the volume of high winds we have recently had, which would have made the higher route dangerous. We were joined by another walker as we strolled through the woods who then gave us a very comprehensive history of the Castle, which is in fact a Folly, and was constructed as a ruin, and also the history of the reservoir. The land still belongs to the Leverhulme family, owners of Port Sunlight on the Wirral. Continue reading

In the report Living Life, Extending Horizons, Challenging Conventions published by U3A in July 2018 the “springboard effect” is referred to. The report looks at the value of building confidence in people by offering them the opportunity to take responsibility. At the moment our walking groups have become very popular and as we move into the Spring, the interest will almost certainly increase. We are urgently looking for people to lead duplicate groups which could mirror existing walking groups. We have all the details of walks we just need people to lead them. Can you help?
The Congleton and District U3A have just started a laughter exercise group.
Sue Ward their Chair states “lots of our groups clearly have some fun and laughter, but I thought there might be scope to bring extra laughter into our lives. The more I investigated laughter exercises (often referred to as laughter yoga) the more I thought we should have a go”. They now run successful fortnightly 30 minute sessions. Do you fancy running a laughter group for our U3A? It have been proven that laughter helps reduce stress. There are resources available to help get a group going
