With the easing of certain restrictions regarding outdoor activities and people meeting outdoors some of our groups are keen to get going and meet up with other members.
Whilst many of our members have been out and about, either solo or in pairs, on an informal basis as friends, the coming months will give us the opportunity to resume official u3a outdoor activities as near as possible to normal as the current pandemic permits.
From March 29th people will be permitted to engage in recreation and outdoor activity provided the Rule of 6 is observed. Our Golf and Bowls Groups will meet up at this time as will the Day Riders and In-betweeners Cycling Groups together with Nordic Walking ( Rule of 6 ).
Other Outdoor Activity groups such as The Breakaway Cyclists, Sunday Strollers and Walk a Mile or Two will officially resume in April.

Banking Scam !
Banking Scam – u3as. Please Take Immediate Action
In the last fortnight – two u3as have been scammed by phone calls purporting to be from their bank’s Fraud Department. A number of other u3as have reported similar attempted scams.
What should I do?
The first action you should take is Hang Up! Banks do not make calls of this nature.
Should I call the bank?
If you try to call your bank to check if the call was genuine the fraudsters can intercept your call and convince you to continue. If you do call your bank on a number you know to be genuine use a different phone or leave making the call for some time.
New Yarn Bomb feature, Love NHS
So cute and yet poignant, another beautiful work by the mystery benefactor.
Thank you! thank you, thank you,from us all at Maghull and Lydiate u3a.
Stay safe and carry on.
