Maghull Station Support

Many of our members are also keen members of the Maghull Station Volunteers and it is through their diligence and keen eye for colour that we have such a welcoming station.

The flower beds, the old train, the bicycle and its wicker basket reflect the care that the Volunteers give to the station making it such a delight as we travel hither and there.

Currently the station is in a World Cup of Stations competition and as this prize is awarded by the public we thought you might like to have the details of how you can show the Volunteers how much our station means to us.

Enter https://www.merseyrail.org/world-cup-of-stations/ into your browser and if you want to, give our station the thumbs up!!

Voting opens tomorrow and runs for three days

PAT Testing Day

🌟🌟 Reminder

Please bring all electrical equipment that is used by your groups to the MBC next Tuesday for PAT testing. Personal electrical equipment should also be brought if you use it during your group sessions.

Items such as  laptops, sewing machines, irons, cd payers, kettles, glass cutters etc should all be tested.

 

August 27th Closure

🌟 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.

Car Parking at MBC

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.

Scams Alert

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

****Fraud Warning ****

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.

 

Possible New Group

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.

Maghull Baptist Church closure

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.
