Happy, Healthy New Year to all. Our new day trip will start with coffee at Oswaldtwislte Mills. This is an award winning outlet and a popular group destination. There is just about everything you could wish for including fresh food counters and a Garden Centre. We can browse, even buy, before having a delicious Lancashire lunch. After lunch we will reboard our coach to be joined by Simon Entwistle to give us a guided 
Haunted Histories tour. Simon is very well known for his entertaining tours and has done a series for BBC television. He will keep us amused and informed with his tales of the unexpected. So sit back, relax and enjoy.
When? Wed.5th February 2020. Depart 9.15am Ret.5pm. Price: £25 inc.morning coffee, lunch and guided tour. Seats will be on sale at our table on Tues.7th January 2020
11 Ramblers completed the first walk of the New Year today. Setting off from the Ship Inn at Haskayne, we completed an 8 mile walk along the banks of the Leeds Liverpool Canal. In spite of the recent rain the towpath was passable with no dense muddy sections. The first part of the walk was quiet with no passing barges or fellow walkers on the canal bank. Our first prospective coffee stop at Scarisbrick Marina was aborted as it was closed! Our next attempt was equally fruitless as the next pub we got to was also still shut! However it was 3rd time lucky and we managed to find the Heaton’s Bridge open, much to the horror of the landlady, who clearly had not expected a group of 11 coming through the door as soon as she opened up.

Hi and Happy Christmas wishes to you all.
I hope its a good one and brings you much peace and happiness. Then as we move into 2020 I hope the year ahead is kind to you.
As I hope you know, I believe our members make U3A an amazing organisation in which we have fun whilst learning, playing and keeping fitter. But more than that, our member to member support, which we see time and time again, is truly inspiring and genuinely gladdens my little heart. I felt this support personally this year – thank you all sincerely. To all going through difficult times at the moment – I hope you know that lots of members are thinking about you and wishing things could be better for you.
We restart with coffee morning on Tuesday 7Th January and can look forward to another great year together. We look forward to seeing many of you then and throughout the year.
Thank you and Happy Christmas
Dot and all Committee
Today was the last Dance Fit session until Monday 6th and Friday 13th January. Unfortunately, last Fridays session was cancelled due to Collette not being well. There are still some places in the Friday class which is at 2.30 at the Meadows Leisure Centre. The Monday class is full. These are very popular classes. If you require more information ring Brenda McKenzie on 07900525222 or come to the Group Leaders Support desk on a Tuesday morning.
Collette is not well so Dance Fit is cancelled today. She is hoping to be fit for Monday.
