15 of us went on a mystery walk this morning. Due to conditions the route had to be changed more than once. We ended up doing 4 miles from the station, along canal to Bells Lane and back. We were very lucky with the weather as it rained heavily about 30 minutes after we finished. We agreed we would all take a lateral flow test before walks in the future for the time being.
Great to be back – happy New Year to all who were unable to join us
Giddygate lane stroll. Cold and foggy but fresh air.
Hi everyone, we had the last meeting of this year last Monday (13/12)
It’s been a challenging year at the U3A with the Covid and the lockdown.
Numbers attending groups have been down and some unfortunately had to close.
Pete and myself like to thank all members that attended the Camera club meetings this year. By doing so you are keeping the Digital Camera club running.
15 members turned up for ‘The Chemistry of Christmas’ talk by Phil followed by a home made Christmas cake sampling. Cakes produced by Sylvia Adams and Denis Stevens were the highlight of the show. A show of hands voted for Denis’s cake (left) by 10/5.

Hope you enjoyed the walk today, nearly 5 miles from Aughton station. We strolled along Long Lane, Blackmoss Lane , New Lane then over to Catherine’s Lane into Croppers Lane. At Poppy’s Lane we turned right through the farm down to Graveyard Lane. We stopped and saw the Friends Burial Ground (Quakers -1665) then walked through Graveyard farm following the footpath over a small bridge up to the Moor Hall estate. Then left onto Prescot Road, right at the next footpath which brought us back to Town Green station. Hope to see you all soon- Brian
