For the first time since December the Inbetweeners cycling group hit the road again. With just 3 of us, as sadly some of the others are unwell, we had a good circular ride from Maghull to Crosby and back. Enjoying a lovely takeaway coffee in the park on Marine terrace it was good to get back together in a Covid secure way. The weather was kind, with no prevailing wind which made the first ride even more enjoyable, with many more to come now we’re back in the saddle. Hopefully the legs wont be too sore tomorrow!

Well, I suppose it had to happen eventually. My trusty ‘weather station’ laptop started playing up. Its a 15 year old unit that just does one job and it just started to shut down.
A quick look at the ‘system event log’ indicated a ‘kernel error – 63’. Oh dear.
Nine of the Monday Morning Nordic walkers met today for a lovely walk in the Spring sunshine. Walking within Jubilee woods we stopped to catch our breath by The Owl, and shelter from the freezing wind blowing across the fields. In line with the Government guidelines we are still observing the rule of 6 on the walk and continuing to social distance although the angle of the photo makes us seem closer! The official Sefton walks commence in 2 weeks time when we will be able to walk as a large group once again as an organised outdoor activity with Covid secure guidelines in place. But whether in 6’s or a group its great to get out and about together again.
Just found some interesting ‘aurora australis’ photos and techniques here.
On the same pages is a ‘night sky’ photo session.

NOTE: Given the highly unusual circumstances, Committee have agreed that we will restrict the meeting purely to the formal elements required by our Articles of Association. The meeting will therefore be held using the Zoom video conferencing system to pass the resolutions detailed in the agenda set out below.
UNFORTUNATELY, due to the limitations of the Zoom polling system all votes must be pre-programmed into the system. Therefore we will be unable to accept points of order or amendments during the meeting as we would be unable to vote on them. As all of the relevant papers have been made available to Members, if you wish to submit a point of order or amendment to a resolution the Committee are happy to receive them in writing in advance. Similarly, if for whatever reason you are unable to attend the AGM you may also, if you wish, cast your vote(s) either by post or email. All of the above options must be returned to the Secretary by 12 noon on 19th April 2021 at the address detailed below.
