Join us for our monthly Age Concern Flicks and Friends show at the Plaza Cinema in Crosby. The film is based upon the true story of British humanitarian Sir Nicholas Winton as he looks back on his past efforts to help groups of Jewish children in German occupied Czechoslovakia to hide and flee in 1938-39 just before the beginning of World War II. Click on the poster for details.
This vibrant and exciting group has room for a few more members. Meeting each Monday at St George’s URC Church on Northway at 13:30 the group has produced many a display of their skill at our Tuesday Coffee Morning and impressed all who attended. Examples of their work in embroidery, quilting collage and patchwork, to name just a few, have been quite breathtaking. Ideas abound within the group and the members are all ready to share their skills with you.
Ring Maureen Collier on 0151 526 0837 so you can find out exactly what this group can offer you.
A twin room has become available for this holiday (9th – 14th June 2024)

Murder Mystery Break Briefing
There will be a short pre-holiday meeting for all members who are booked on the Murder Mystery Break in Caernarfon (2nd – 4th Feb).
The meeting will take place on Tuesday 23rd of January in the Coffee Room at 11:15.
If you are unable to attend please ask a friend to pick up your holiday pack for you.
In May 2024 our current Secretary, Linda Simms, will come to the end of her term of office having held the role for six years. This means we are now actively seeking someone who would like to take on this valuable role.
Linda still has five months in her role and would welcome any member who would like to shadow her during that time. We are quite happy to split Linda’s role into two distinct parts if it helps, so that can be shared by two members.
Firstly we will need a Minutes Secretary to take down the confidential minutes of our Committee Meetings and our Group Leaders’ Meetings. There are ten Committee meeting a year and some three group Leader Meetings. An ability to use shorthand is a great advantage here, but it should not preclude anyone from taking on the role.
Secondly we will need an Admin Secretary who will deal with the forms and the procedures of the u3a Trust.
If you think either of these positions would interest you please contact Linda or Jane on a Tuesday morning for more details or email us at enquiries@mandlu3a.org.uk
Today was our last u3a meeting of the year and we enjoyed our Joyous Christmas Concert in style. A wonderful group of children from St George’s Catholic School gave us a medley of Christmas carols. They sang their hearts out and had us all toe tapping in time with their tunes.
We had a short play about being Christmas ready but somehow I think all the planning in the world still leaves us rushing for that forgotten thing!
We listened to Tony play his violin and joined in with carols as Chris, ably aided by Lynne, played the piano beautifully.
The proceeds from our programme sale and a retiring collection was received by Paula, one of the fund raising team at Woodlands Hospice.
Rev Ralph gave the blessing and tea/coffee/ mince pies awaited us in the hall.
Those who had helped with the concert then went on to Ladygreen to rest on our laurels as we tucked in to our festive meal.
A great start to our Christmas holiday!! Thank you to all who supported us this morning and throughout the year 🎄🎄🎄🍾🎉🎁
See you next on the 9th of January 2024
