To all of our good friends in the Walking Group:-
The gifts you gave us at the Fiveways today were certainly unexpected and greatly appreciated. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to have been the Leader of the walks for the last six years, plotting the routes, printing the maps and contacting the pubs. (If anybody ever opens my phone there are more pub names listed than people.) In that time we were in the main blessed with good weather, sadly not today, and who can forget the time at Coniston when the rain came down in torrents but afterwards we all got toasty warm around a great roaring fire at the Crown Hotel. Our main thanks go to you the loyal walkers. Without you and your support there would be no group. With best wishes for the future.
Cheerio and have a good Christmas
Bill and Ann Langham

Thursday 10th November saw us walking from St Michael’s Station to Princes Park, Sefton Park , Otterspool Park then lunch at the Otterspool Harvester and finally through the Festival Gardens and back to St Michael’s. The weather was, in the main, dry with the occasional sharp shower. My thanks to Margaret Schumacher for leading sixteen of us safely around the course.

The meeting was attended by 20 people who come walking and we decided the following for 2017.
1. The new Group Leader will be Margaret Kendall. Deputy Group Leader is Alan Carr.
2. It was decided that all walks should be on the first Thursday of the month thus avoiding clashes with other activities.
3. Most members would like the walks to be accessible by public transport with occasional walks a bit further afield and one walk in June by coach. One person has an aversion to buses and would prefer to travel by train.
4. There was some interest in arranging venues using cars but the logistics could cause problems. Margaret Schumacher would be willing to make the arrangements.
5. There was a suggestion that some people would like longer walks and it was agreed that where feasible,and providing there are sufficient leaders, two walks will be arranged both finishing at the same point in order to maintain the social aspect of the group. One walk will be approximately 5 miles and the longer one 7 to 8 miles.
6. The 2017 venues for the first seven months are as follows:-
5th January – Lydiate – Leaders Judith Jones and Alan Carr
2nd February – Parbold – Leader Ian Gent
2nd March – Hale Village
6th April Sankey Valley – Leader Ken
4th May Ormskirk (Warhorse walk) – Leader Margaret Kendall
1st June By coach, Destination T.B.A.
6th July Aughton
I have deleted the word LOOP from the 5th Jan as the proposed walks do not use the Lydiate Loop.
