The joys of walking on the Leeds – Liverpool Canal
Our first walk of the U3A Leeds/Liverpool canal group took place on 27th October, almost 246 years to the day after the first sod was cut on 5th Nov 1770.
14 walkers set out from near the appropriately named Ship Inn at Haskayne, led by an energetic Judith Jones at 1030, arriving at Burscough 3hrs later which included a canal-side alfresco packed lunch near Heaton’s Bridge.
This is a joint group with Aughton & Ormskirk U3A which we have been invited to join
Contact Joan Jenkinson if you are interested in joining: 01744 889033
A new group, Walking Netbal, is proposed.
The leader will be Brenda Mckenzie (07900525222 / 01515310207)
This is a new group who will receive support and coaching from Stephanie Wignall from England Netball.
It has not been decided when and were we will meet this will be decided after our initial session with Stephanie which will be held at Edge Hill college at a date to be agreed.
If you are interested please contact Brenda McKenzie
