Sunday walkers – Moreton

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

20 walkers made their way to Moreton where we walked down to the front and stopped to have a coffee, tea and bacon baps at the little cafe.  The wind was very strong on the front so we decided to have it behind us and walk to New Brighton instead Hoylake .

The views were spectacular along the way with waves high in places . We were treated to seeing wind surfers and swimmers braving the elements . The walk was 5 miles although with the help of the wind it felt shorter.

Some of us then went to the Sea Horse and had either Sunday roast or fish and chips.  Feedback showed good value money .

Next week it’s the  Rimrose Valley and will get 9.19 train from Maghull to Seaforth.

TREASURER URGENTLY NEEDED

WE REALLY DO NEED A TREASURER – URGENTLY


As you are probably aware we have not yet found a new Treasurer to manage the finances of our U3A and be part of the Committee. Without a Treasurer we are finding it extremely difficult to manage the financial affairs of our U3A. As we begin to reopen, the system may become unmanageable. So it is absolutely vital that we appoint the right person to this post as soon as possible.

If you have a background or experience in finance and or accounting and would like to be part of a group of Trustees that care about our U3A and would like to rise to the challenge, please, in the first instance, contact a member of Committee, in confidence, to informally express an interest and to discuss the opportunity further. This initial expression of interest to gain more information, will NOT commit you in any way.

Thank you.
