If you enjoy walking and would like to find a walking buddy, Group Support are willing to set up a What’s App group so members can find a walking  partner/sThe Nordic

Walking Group have this week successfully started this and couples are going out walking keeping to the social distancing rules.

If you do not have access to What’s App if you email me I am willing to try and find you a walking partner🤞 My email address is mnmck21@aol.com or my telephone number is 07900525222 if you want to send me a text

Walking is a great way to keep fit and it is so much more enjoyable doing it with someone else

Online activities

In these continuing, uncertain times it seems a good idea to let folk know what activities are ongoing, albeit online.

Here is a list that should be up-to-date:

Friday night quiz,  Digital cameras,  Nordic walking morning and evening,  Recorders,  Spanish – beginners,  Canal walking,  Walking netball,  Family history, Easy riders, Pedal Pushers,Tech and science, Computer group and IT Help.

If any on-line active group is not listed then please amend the list or ask for an amendment:

If you want to start an on-line group and are not sure how – ASK! Help is available.

Lastly, remember that our web site is read around the world so its not just locals that read our news. It might be that your activity inspires someone to have a go elsewhere.

Stay safe – Phil

From M+L U3A member Dave Russell:

Just to let you know I spoke to Sefton Libraries today and for the duration of lock-down they have free access for their library members to Ancestry.co.uk  which I thought might be of interest to some of your group members. People can also become a member of the library remotely by emailing  library.service@sefton.gov.uk and there is also access to free daily newspapers and magazines  as well which is great.

Really hope this information is helpful and if there is anything I can help with at all please don’t hesitate to ask,

Our U3A is currently trialing the Zoom ‘video conferencing’ application.

Zoom can be used on most electronic systems from mobile phones to tablets. For the best view the bigger the screen the better.  Below you will find la link to ‘Help’ pages that describe the installation, testing and use of the software that will enable you to join in meetings.

You will need to ‘register’ with a User name or email address AND a Password !

Getting started

Help is available from the Computer group members. Please note that different devices will display different ‘screen layouts’ so be very clear about what device you are using when asking for help.
