The meeting arranged for the 29th of July did not quite go to plan. I have now passed on the details of members who were interested to Patty Hearne who will in all likelihood contact you all.

As many of you might have noticed there has been some water damage/staining to the walls in the small hall ( our coffee room).

The Church Management Committee have, accordingly, decided to re-decorate the room. They ask that NO GREY CHAIRS BE STORED IN THE ROOM for the moment to enable easy access for a painting crew.    All chairs should be stored facing our noticeboards in the  main hall.
Thank you for your co-operation.

Calling all James Patterson fans!

We currently have a large number of his novels for sale, both hardcover and paperback, all in great condition. And at our usual bargain price of 50p each or 3 for £1.

Donations of books in good, clean, saleable condition are always welcome, but because of lack of storage space, only up to five books at a time please.

All proceeds of our book sales are donated directly to the Woodlands Hospice, Aintree.

One of our members – Patty Hearne, is hoping to set up a fortnightly quiz group. If you would be interested please put your name and u3a number in the comments box below this notice. We are hoping to set up an initial meeting at the Maghull Baptist Church on the 29th of July at 11:20; when more details we will be available.

Join us for a showing of “The Salt Path” at the Plaza on the 1st July 2025.  This is the true story of Raynor Winn and her husband Moth, who, after losing their home and facing Moth’s terminal diagnosis embark on a 630 mile walk along the South West Coast path in England.Click on the flyer for more details

Today123 members attended our AGM which is totally brilliant. Many thanks for your support 👏

Join us on the 10th for ‘The Penguin Lessons’ starring Steve Coogan. This is the story of a disillusioned Englishman who goes to work in a divided Argentinia in 1976 who finds his life is transformed when he rescues an orphan penguin from the beach.

On the 6th May as many of us that could be fitted in, got together at the Maghull Baptist Church to celebration the end of the war in Europe some 80 years ago.

We had a brilliant morning with the NAAFI handing out cups of tea or coffee and an abundance of cakes to choose from.  The hall was decorated in red, blue and white with a smattering of Welsh flags intermingled amid the Union flags.

Our hall was decorated with posters from the war era and we all learnt how to be like dad and keep mum, how to dig for victory and how to do our bit in the Land Army.

Many members looked resplendent in their costumes and a few tried the jitterbug to the sound of Chattanuga Choo Choo.  Mementos of fathers and uncles who did their bit were displayed with pride and medals were worn to honour the departed who had done so much.

We played Housey Housey and tested our knowledge of the war era with two quizzes.  They were won by a very astute couple who scored 50 points out of 55.  That’s what I call impressive!!

We rounded off the morning with a good old British sing song of the favourites of the period before standing in silence as a mark of respect for those who fell and in thanks for those who came home.
