On Monday, 7th December 2015, our last walk before Christmas and of 2015 took place. The walk, which was led by Brenda McKenzie, commenced outside the Red House pub in Foxhouse Lane, Maghull. The group were suitably attired for Christmas, having donned Santa hats, reindeer antlers and other decorations. The red flashing lights and Hi-Viz clothing we wear for safety, also took on a festive look. The route was designed to pass as many houses as possible that were richly decorated and festooned with Christmas lights. We also visited the Christmas tree and lights in Maghull square. Having returned to the Red House, we joined the Foodie and Badminton Groups (all organised by Brenda), in a room reserved especially for us, where we enjoyed some good food, drink, song and conversation. A good night was had by all.
On behalf of Brenda, John and Myself, may we take this opportunity to wish you all
A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR
Ian
Please note that the first walk of the New Year will be on Monday, 18th January 2016, when we will once again meet on the car park of Maghull Baptist Church at 6.30pm.
