Understanding the risks of COVID-19
The risk of catching or passing on COVID-19 can be higher in certain places and when doing certain activities. COVID-19 is spread by airborne transmission, close contact via droplets, and via surfaces. Airborne transmission is a very significant way that the virus circulates. It is possible to be infected by someone you don’t have close contact with, especially if you’re in a crowded and/or poorly ventilated space.
Taiji news
The Taiji group is currently closed as the leader, Sheila, has decided to ‘retire’.
A new u3a member is proposing a new group running a “Flex, Strengthen and Relax” class aimed at improving strength and flexibility and lowering blood pressure and anxiety.
She is a qualified yoga teacher and could give an hour a week for free.

T+S – Stone age Sefton
28 members attended the Wednesday afternoon meeting for a talk by Molly Toal, the Communications and Engagement Officer of the Lunt Meadows Nature Reserve, part of the Wildlife Trust for Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside.
A fascinating story and laptop presentation of the geography, history and archaeology of the Lunt Meadows ‘dig’ gave us a vivid insight into our local prehistory back over 9000 years.
Later this year we will be taking a guided tour of the ‘dig’ so watch this space for news. The presentation was ‘free’. A donation of £50 has been made.
Our next meeting is Feb 9th with Colin discussing computer security.
Sunday walkers – 23/01
23 members enjoyed a walk from Aigburth to St Michaels via Sefton Park. After the walk we broke up at Lark Lane for coffee, brunch and the train home. Well done folks.
