Dear Theatregoers

Thankyou for showing interest in joining us at the theatre.  We have booked tickets for Midnight Bell, on Thursday 21st October at 7.30 pm at the Playhouse Theatre..  The tickets cost £33.00 and will need to be paid for by the end of August. The tickets are in the stalls on rows C and D 15-20 and are good seats.

It is a Dance Theatre event “Matthew Bourne’s new World Premiere which explores London life in the 1930s where ordinary people emerge from their cheap boarding houses nightly to pour out their passions, hopes and dreams in the pubs and bars of fog-bound Soho. The Midnight Bell, a tavern where one particular lonely-heart’s club gather to play out their lovelorn affairs of the heart; bitter comedies of longing, frustration, betrayal and redemption”.

We will travel on the train from Maghull Station together for the event.

As this is a new way of booking a show you will be asked to send a cheque to the address given to you on the phone together with a stamped addressed envelope.  We will hold on to the cheques until we are ready to make the final payment.  If things don’t work out as planned we will then be able to return your cheque.

Please ring one of the following numbers:

Pat Kelly               0151 476 1726

Sue Quinn             0151 287 5285

Sardinia 2021

I have just been contacted by John Makinson of Discovery Travel , approx.1.00pm today

He advised me that EasyJet have cancelled the flights that were booked to take us to and return us from Sardinia

At present , there is no other option to proceed with the proposed tour this year.

DT  are looking at options for 2022 , however if a member does not wish to continue , flight costs will be recoverable from EasyJet via DT

Some aspects of the deposits have been expended in Sicily and therefore that aspect of the deposit refund is in doubt.

Members are requested to identify whether they want to consider 2022 or seek partial refund.

 

Day Trips

Hello Everyone.Hope you are keeping well, been double vaccinated and rearing to go. Well do you think we might be, could be, is it possible to be getting back to some  normality after all this time? There is no mention of Coffee Mornings recommencing just yet, although I think u3a holds them at Costa instead.  You meet so many of us in there! Until the coffee mornings return it is difficult to forecast when  day trips will recommence as they are our main point of sale. However, I have been in touch with our coach company Holmeswood and they are returning hopefully to normal working after the 19th July. We will just have to be patient a little longer to see what the news is from the Committee. In the meantime, stay safe, keep well and we should be able to meet soon.

Crosby Circuit

The Inbetweeners had a lovely circuit this morning from Maghull to Crosby shore and return. Sadly our planned coffee stop at the Courtyard in Little Crosby was foiled as it looks as if they have closed down! However we found a little artisan coffee shop in Crosby village which fit the bill. Lovely to have Stephen join us today so our little cycle group is growing again,
