Eight U3A members recently took part in the free Nordic walk training provided by Sefton Council. This training costs the council £70 per person. To date only one of the people trained has taken part in a walk. This is a waste of council money and may prevent the U3A getting places in the future. It is important to consolidate the learning gained at the training by taking part in a regular walk. The health benefits are tremendous too! Walks are available on Monday mornings (fortnightly) at 10:15 am from Maghull Leisure Centre. Next walk is on 25th June. This is 60 minute walk. There is also a weekly walk on Monday evening, 6:30 from Lydiate scout hut for 90 minutes. There is no need to book for the walks, just turn up 10 mins before walk commences. Poles are available to use.

Hi Margaret
I’ve just completed the Nordic Walking course. Can you tell me if there is a daytime walk this Monday 12th from the Meadows?
Thanks
The Monday morning walk is alternate weeks. the next one is on 19th November at 10:15. however there is a weekly evening walk from the same venue. This starts at 6;30. Poles are available.
Hi Dave,
have emailed you. Sometimes the library runs out of newsletters but I\’ll bring some to the coffee morning. The walk co-ordinator at Sefton is Stephanie Boote. She can be contacted on 934 2824 or stephanie.boote@sefton.gov.uk She organises the training dates so would be your first point of contact for training.
Dave, have just put a new post on website with training dates for Nordic walking.
I am interested in this. Margaret told me I need training by Active Sefton but the Town Hall had no info and a search of Sefton Council website got a nil return. Do you have a contact? Thanks.
