Walking for Woodlands

Posted on by

18 walkers from Maghull and Lydiate u3a took part in the Light up the Night event for Woodlands Hospice .  As you can see from the photos we really got into the spirit of it.  Up to now, without taking into account Gift Aid,  we have raised at least £2300.

Woodlands recently looked after Sylvia and Pauline and in the past Ian and Diana, who were all members of our u3a walking groups .

We would like to thank the people who supported us, this helped us raise such an amazing amount of money .

Woodlands have told us we have achieved the largest donation for this event .
Well done everyone.

Twenty Stramblers met at Hightown Station for today’s walk. We couldn’t have picked a better day – blue skies and bright sunshine. Leaving the station at Alt Road, we walked along School Lane to the aptly named Blundell Road. This took us to a footpath through fields to Crosby Coastal Path. A sculpture here, “Pebble” (known locally as the “Wedding Cake”) is a memorial to James Myers, a former pupil of Newfield School, and was created by year 11 pupils from the School and artist Julian Taylor in 2006. The path is popular with cyclists and several groups passed us with cheery waves. We were soon walking parallel to the beach with West Lancs Golf Course on one side and the Crosby “Blitz Beach” on the other. The rubble here was Continue reading →

On Tuesday the 4th of March renewals for 2025-26 will take place in the sanctuary at Maghull Baptist Church.   When renewing, you will need to have completed part one of the white renewal form on which you are required to put your name and your membership number. Do not worry if you can’t remember your number, our team will be able to give you that before you come in to pay.
The second part of the white form should only be completed if you have any changes to the information that we are currently holding for you for example new mobile number or change of address.

For people without a printer, copies of the white form will be available in the foyer. Payment can be made by cash (notes only), cheques (Maghull and Lydiate u3a) or by bank card.

We’re looking forward to seeing you on Tuesday.
