Everton Stadium Tour 22/01/2026

I have been advised by the Stadium that due to the large number taking the tour , they need to bring the commencement time forward to 2.00pm

Therefore to enable members to walk and view “the Plaza” and , if necessary find their “tile” if they have purchased one , all members are requested to attend at 12.45pm

Car parking is available and to gain entry via the “security staff” a member requires to say “We are on a stadium tour as part of Maghull and Lydiate U3A group” , the staff will have been notified of this

If any member requires further information , please text George on 07826 048379

 

 

Ramblers Christmas Walk

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Our walk today, prior to heading for a Christmas Lunch at Southport College, was a six mile wander from Green Lane In Maghull, to Blundellsands and Crosby Station. Blessed with lovely weather we trekked via good paths across Sefton and Lunt Meadows, before walking through Thornton to pick up the footpath around the CHET estate at Little Crosby. From  here we made our way through Crosby to catch the train at Blundellsands to Southport. Clouds restaurant at Southport College did not disappoint and our traditional lunch received the thumbs up from everyone, especially the two members of the group who won prizes of Christmas goodies in the raffle! Special thanks to Alan for recceing the walk and organising the lunch, and thanks also to those who have led walks this year and to members for participating in the walks and making them a very sociable affair. Best wishes to all for the Christmas Season and happy rambling in 2026!
