The topic will be FAKE NEWS, a really prominent issue at the moment..
Don’t worry this is not a fake email !!
British History Group
This popular group, led by Geoff Kean has been in abeyance for a while due to Geoff’s ill health. Although Geoff himself is much better, his wife Jenny now has a serious illness for which she has started treatment recently. In view of this Geoff has decided that he will be unable to restart the British History group as planned.
We would like to record our thanks to Geoff for his valuable contribution to our U3A since we began back in 2006; he has been an inspirational leader of a number of different groups. We all extend to Geoff and Jenny our love and thoughts at this difficult time.
Geoff has said he would be very happy to see the British History group re-form under new leadership. If this is something you feel you could do, or help with, please speak to Brenda McKenzie or any member of the Group Support team.
David Allen
Poetry Group

NORDIC WALKING
NORDIC WALKING GROUP
Only two more Monday evening walks at Maghull before we move back to Lydiate on 3rd April, 2017 for our longer walks of 1hr 30mins. The photograph shows some of the group on a recent walk around Maghull. Whilst the weather on some of our walks has been cold, windy and wet, our loyal hardy walkers have braved the winter months and we are now enjoying the lighter nights and the start of spring. We are all looking forward to those balmy summer night walks in the countryside around Lydiate. Why not come and join us?
Happy Nordic Walking Ian, Brenda & John
Table Games – venue update
The venue for the Table Games Group will continue to be Maghull Town Hall but, we will be moving from the ‘coffee bar’ to the upstairs ‘function room‘, as from April 2017.
We will continue with Bridge and Scrabble so come along every Monday from 10 – 12 .
Canal Walking Group
Leeds Liverpool Canal – New Springs to Cowling Bridge
The leg from Wigan (New Springs) to Chorley (Cowling Bridge) was postponed from February because of Storm Doris. Most of the group will complete it on March 23rd, but four will not be available that day so walked it today.
We took two cars to Cowling Bridge, left one there and drove back to New Springs and left the other car there. We walked 7.75 miles to Cowling Bridge, had a drink in The Spinners, and drove back to New Springs. We had a lovely walk with dull but dry weather and no wind. A bit muddy at the beginning, but mostly sound underfoot. It was a level section with no locks and very scenic.
Plenty of interesting canal boats to see, particularly at Adlington’s White Bear Marina and some beautiful houses making the most of their canal bank locations.
