Nordic Walking
Several members took part in the free “Nordic walking” training which costs £70 per person to Sefton Council, but to date only one of these people have attended a Nordic walk. It is important to attend the walks to consolidate the learning and prevent waste of council monies.
The next morning walk takes place on Monday 25th at 10:15 from the Leisure centre for 1 hour, or Monday 25th at 6:30 from Lydiate Scout hut for 90 mins. No need to book , just turn up. Poles are available at each walk.

Very important notice – MBC coffee morning room set up
We come into coffee morning every Tuesday to this room set up and ready for us all to use. However, we have been struggling lately to get sufficient members to volunteer to set up the tables and chairs prior to our coffee morning starting. Last week we had only two people setting up which would have been pretty pressurised and physical as when we all arrived everything was ready for us to use. Clearly that’s unfair and can’t continue.
Our Tuesday mornings can only function effectively if all the tables and chairs are set up in their correct positions prior to the group leaders arriving.
Can you please consider if you have some time from about 9.00am to assist the “setting up team” in their “voluntary capacity” to provide an adequate layout for the coffee morning to run smoothly and if possible to help clear away afterwards.
Please see George Birchall or me if you can spare 30 minutes from 9.00am on Tuesdays to carry out this very important exercise
Walking group out this Thursday.
Long walk 9.5 miles meet at Maghull station to catch the 9:31 train to Moorfields and onward to Chester. Bring a packed lunch.
Short walk: 4 miles; Meet at sefton lane bus stop to catch the 9:25 bus for Lady Green Garden centre at 10:15 if going by car . Lunch at a local pub.
