🌟 Reminder – there will be no Coffee Morning on the 27th of August as we will be closed so that our Group Leaders can enjoy a long weekend following the bank holiday.
Individual groups will follow their usual pattern; check with the Leader if you are unsure if your group is meeting or not, See you on the 3rd of September.
Starting this week, work will be taking place on the car park at the Baptist Church. There will be machinery and men replacing paving stones and improving access for wheelchair users.
Accordingly, due to limited access and parking, members are asked to park at the Cricket Club if they can.
Access to the church from the church car park may also be compromised.
One of our ‘favourite’ scams is doing its rounds again. It’s the Amazon card scam – ‘can you help me’ etc. Please be alert and remember not to commit to anything until you have checked with the person who ‘apparently’ sent it to you.
Stay safe everyone
Important News
Two of our members have today reported that a fraudulent transaction has been made on their credit cards. The transaction for £69.99 is listed as being a payment to ‘Super Cards’ in both cases.
The two ladies do not bank with the same institution but suggest that members check their credit card statements in case a similar fraud had been committed on their account.
One of our current Group Leaders has come up with a great idea for a brand new group. During a new members’ meeting several members asked why we did not have many evening events. The answer is simple – we can’t always find venues with time slots that would suit us.
But Sue Quinn has come up with a great idea! She is proposing to set up a Supper Club where those interested can suggest or pick a venue where they can enjoy good food, good wine and good company.
If this appeals to you let Sue know by; either putting your name down on the list on the u3a notice board or by clicking the leave a reply notice at the bottom of this notice.
During the first week of August, Maghull Baptist Church are running a week long activities group for children.
This will mean that we will have no access to the church during that period. There will be no Coffee morning on the 6th of August and the Table Tennis group will not be able to meet during that week.
All will be back to normal the following week.
On Tuesday 9th July Dave Carlos gave us an amazing insight into cyber safety and showed us how easy it is to fall prey to scams. Many of you have complimented him on his presentation and I have passed this on to him.
Thank you to all who attended
This month’s Flicks and Friends movie is ‘The Gift’.. The film was released in 2015 and is the story of a married couple, Simon and Robyn, who run into Gordo, an old classmate. Things take a turn when Gordo begins to drop in unannounced at their house and inundates them with mysterious gifts.
As always admission is free to all 60+ year olds but Age Concern are always appreciative of any donations on the day.
