The lunch is due to commence at approximately 12 noon at Academy Restaurant
Please arrive in time but not before 11.45 as “setting up” is required
Please text George on 07826 048379 if directions or any other information is required
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
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!
Join us for our final Flicks and Friends of 2025 at the Plaza Cinema in Waterloo. This film is the perfect prelude to Christmas with Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye in full voice.
Doors open at 12:15 with the film starting at 13:00 As usual there is no charge but donations are gratefully accepted.
Just a quick reminder – our last coffee morning of the year will be held tomorrow. This will be the last time that money can be paid into Treasury and any cheques that have been booked can be picked up.
Our Christmas Concert finale will be held on the 9th of December (only a few tickets are still available) with Coffee Mornings re starting on the 6th of January 2026.
Individual Groups will be sorting out their own arrangements so make sure you check when your group closes for Christmas and when it re-opens in the New Year.
If anyone found a silver Parker pen at u3a last Tuesday, could they please let me know or return it to Treasury tomorrow. Thank you!
