The ‘friday strollers’ group numbers continue to grow. We have agreed to use the same walk each week, which is about 1.5 miles.
We walk for about 1 hour at a slow, steady pace and then go to ‘Bernies’ for breakfast. Some folk who are unable to walk join us for a cuppa at the end of the walk.
One of our members entertained us by sharing some poetry she had written. It is very much a social occasion.

FRANK CARLYLE
Last Friday (21st Oct) History for Fun, for the first time had an external speaker, Frank Carlyle, the Liverpool historian. He fully engrossed everyone at a well attended meeting (30 plus) with his tales of Liverpool characters and Liverpool firsts, most of which none of us knew about. We hope to rebook him in 2023
Many thanks to Eric Purvis the assistant Leader who beavered away in the background to organise the event

Hi all, due to the cancellation of the meeting last Monday you may have images for that meeting so we have decided to combine the “Landscape” with the “Still Life “ subject for the meeting on the 3rd October.
Bob Morris gave a really interesting presentation to the group on Wednesday. Entitled ‘All you need to know about drugs – Mostly the legal ones‘ it gave an insight into pharmacy operations in simple ‘lay persons’ language.
Various topics were covered including: looking after yourself, health literacy, pharmacy speak, the British National Formulary and drug ‘side effects’.
The BNF was particularly of note as it gives anyone the opportunity to examine prescription drug data online.
The public awareness campaign – National Pharmacy week ,
‘Ask Your Pharmacist’ this year will be on 31 October – 7 November.
Well done Bob
For those who have not heard, our Sunday walkers group is no longer under the ‘u3a‘ banner but will continue as a ‘friends’ walking group, meeting mostly at Maghull Station or elsewhere depending on where we’re going.
