Members of the Archeology Group recently visited the Museum of Liverpool, were Jeff Speakman talked about pottery that was found in Lancashire from the 16,17th and 18th century. He also explained the different ways the pottery had been made. The group found the talk very interesting and it was enjoyed by all.
Mi aeth y dosbarth Cymraeg am bryd o fwyd i’r ‘Left Babk’ yn Ormskirk dydd Iau diwethaf. Cawsom bryd o fwyd ardderchog, cwmni gwych a dipyn o hud hefo’r cinio. Mi welsom driciau wrth ddisgwyl am ein bwyd ac does gan neb ddin syniad sut ddaru y dyn weneud pethau ddiflannu a newid lle o flaen ein trwynau!!
Roedd cwmni difir i’w gael gyda’r ieuengaf ddim ond yn ddwy oed ar hynaf yn naw deg!

The next walk will take place on Thursday 1st March. The short walk has been changed slightly because of the conditions underfoot. The walk will still be 5 miles but will now be a walk in the Ormskirk area, rather than Aughton. Please meet at Ormskirk railway station at 10am. Suggested transport is 9:40 bus from Maghull Square or 9:45 train from Maghull. Lunch can be taken at the Royal Oak pub, Aughton after the walk.
The long walk will be approx. 7 miles. Those wanting to do the longer route meet at Maghull Square at 9:30 . We will walk along the canal to the Weld Blundell in Lydiate. Anyone wishing to join the walk there should be at this point at 10am. (The 31 bus leaves opposite the Square at 9:40). We will walk onwards over Clieves Hill and will end at the Royal Oak in Aughton for an optional meal. Both walks may be muddy so please wear appropriate footwear. Also due to the predicted low temperatures next week wear plenty of layers and walkers may wish to bring a flask for a warm drink enroute.
Several members of the Foodie Group, family and friends, dined yesterday evening at L20 restaurant, the hotel school of Hugh Baird College. The 3rd year students had recently visited Oslo, visiting Michelin starred restaurants, fish and vegetable markets and on their return created a menu of Scandinavian cuisine. We had the opportunity to taste cuisine combinations that we had not tried before and were all suitable impressed. Service, as ever, was impeccable and we were delighted when one of the young chefs came out of the kitchen to enquire whether we had enjoyed the evening and what we thought of the menu. Needless to say praise was heaped on the students, and, as an OFSTED visit was planned for today, took the opportunity to leave written feedback for the students’ portfolios. A Summer foraging menu is being planned for May and we have already signed up to revisit then.
