Join us for a weekend break in Caernarfon, Gwynedd next February.  The hectic days of Christmas will be a long ago memory so a short break is just what we need to lift our spirits!

Our three day half board break includes visits to Llandudno, Beaumaris, a guided tour of Anglesey and the Eryri Mountains.  The break is on a half board basis with two free drinks and entertainment provided on the first night and a happy hour bar.  On our second night we’ll be able to get our little gray cells working as we try to solve a murder mystery!!        On our way home we will be stopping in Ruthin where we will enjoy a Sunday lunch at the Ruthin Castle Hotel.                                     Booking  will open at  09:30 on Tuesday  6th June.

Another great night at walking netball.  Don’t think we’ll be ready for the England team anytime soon but we are getting fitter, having a laugh and, best of all, feeling younger. 

If you are interested in joining us on a Wednesday evening at 7pm at Maricourt High School call Gail on 07803598477.

Family History Group

Due to polling this group will not be able to meet on the 4th May, so the next meeting will be on the 11th May at 2:00 pm at Lydiate Village Centre. Our speaker will be Kate Hurst who has been to our group on a previous occasion and whose talk then met with great enthusiasm by the group.

On the 11th her talk is entitled ‘Gamekeepers and Innkeepers’ and is a story of the gamekeepers and innkeepers in Kate’s family, who travelled from Suffolk to Nottinghamshire (via Essex, Yorkshire, North Wales and Lincolnshire) between 1800 and 1930.  Her talk will consist anecdotes of not only how her ancestors lived but how their employers lived as well. It promises to be an informative tale of ‘how the other half lived’ and more.
