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.
The annual Carol Concert will take place on Tuesday 13th Decem
ber, 10:30 to 11:30 in the Sanctuary. This year the concert will feature a choir, Singing our Socks Off, (also known as SoSo, but this is far from the truth!) Several U3A members are part of this choir so come along and see them in action!
Tickets are priced £1:00 available from the membership desk, and includes refreshments after the concert.
All proceeds will be donated to Woodlands Hospice.
Sudley House.
