Technology and science

The technology and science group will hopefully resume bi weekly activities on Wednesday September 8th at 2 pm in Kensington House.

We have a varied subject list in hand and hopefully can put the last 18 months behind us.

If you have any ideas for subjects or would like to do a presentation yourself please contact Colin or Phil and we can get you going.

In the meantime stay safe and get ready.

Just to wet your appetite 🙂

Hi all, have had few inquiries about the next subject ‘leading lines’.

Check here for help.

Here is an image of the group taken by Keith. Added some names to help new members when (if) we go back.  Sorry I know not every member is in the picture only the ones present one the day.

NWAA – LCL Ride

Visit the NWAA websiteGood afternoon,

I wanted to get in touch as I work in the community team at the North West Air Ambulance Charity.

We are looking to put a team of 30 riders together for the Liverpool Chester Liverpool (LCL) bike ride to raise funds which could pay for one of our next missions and help save a life.

We receive no government or NHS funding and need to raise over £9.5 million each year to keep our crew equipped and operation ready to save lives. It’s all thanks to the generosity of our incredible supporters that we can make a difference.

It costs just £10 to register for a place on the team which and we ask riders if they could raise £50 through sponsorship to support the work that we do to keep us flying and ensure we can be there for those that need us the most.

I wondered if this is something that may be of interest to your group and if you would be happy to share the details please?

The link to register or for more information is https://nwaa.net/event/lclbikeride2021

If this is of interest or you would like to talk through in more detail, please feel free to contact me on the details below.

Best wishes

Emma

WHO – 65 is still young!

The World Health Organisation (WHO) had declared that 65 years of ages is still considered young.

Before, based on the Friendly Societies Act (1875) in Britain, old was defined by age of 50.  The UN has actually not adopted a standard requirement however recently 60 years of ages was referred as the border age to the word ‘old’.   However, the health organisation had done new research just recently, inning accordance with average health quality and life span, and defined a new requirement that divides human age as follows:

– 0-17 years of ages: underage
– 18-65 years of ages: youth/young individuals
– 66-79 years old: middle-aged
– 80-99 years old: elderly/senior
– 100+ years of ages: long-lived senior
