See the link below for some info and the location of the car park. Also included is the  link to their Facebook page which is very interesting in terms of which species have been spotted and lots of photos.

Please let June Avery know  (0151 526 9118)  if you want to come on the visit if you have not already done so. Or if you need a lift or if you don’t have binoculars, as she will see if Adam Graham, the ranger can loan us any.
Please wear stout shoes/boots as the site can be muddy. Also depending on the weather wrap up warm, it  is rather exposed. There are a number of open hides on the site with benches. June will collect £2 from everyone on the day as a donation to the Wildlife Trust.

Low Impact Zumba Class

free-zumba-class-in-north-houston-join-the-wave-lets-zumbaWe have had a lot of interest in this class.  There is a limit of 20 people for each class.  Active Sefton are prepared to run two classes to accommodate everyone interested.  They are also willing to tailor the classes so we will have one class for the more active people and one class for people who want to take it a bit slower.  The first class will start 30th October at the Meadows Sports Hall at 9am to 9.45am for 6 weeks   This will be the higher impact of the two classes.  The lower impact class time as yet to be finalised, so watch this space for more details.  If you have shown interest in this class please confirm if you will be attending the class starting 30th October by coming to the Group Support desk on Tuesday or sending confirmation by email to mnmck21@aol.com.     The classes will be free.

Sunday Strollers

Six people enjoyed the sunshine on our walk last Sunday.   We passed RAF Woodvale at the Freshfield Heath Nature Reserve before making our way to the beach.  As the Southport Air Show was on, we were treated to an air display as we walked along. We had an enjoyable lunch at the Pinewoods pub before making our way back to the station.  The walk was 6 miles.  However, some people had walked to Maghull station making it over 7 miles.  Our next walk will be in West Kirby on the third Sunday 15th October.  This walk will be a  6 miles flat walk. However we will have a break after 3 miles. We will meet at Maghull station 10.50 everyone welcome.
