Hi. If you have not yet picked your choice of meal slip up for our Christmas Lunch on the 7th December, can you do so asap please.
Four slips were returned today, sadly without a name. Think, could one be yours? To give you a clue one of the slips was highlighted in green! Many thanks.
Cheers Marj
Arrangements have been made to visit the Gillmoss Materials Recovery Facility on Wednesday 30th November. There will be a 2 hour “Waste and Recycling Tour” with 30 places available at a cost of £15 per member.
Come and see “What you can and can’t recycle at home” ; “The effect of contamination in the recycling bin” and “The journey of waste from your home to its final destination”
With the present concern for the globe and climate change , this tour should be of interest to all members who look “to do there bit to improve matters”
Coach from Maghull Square (this is necessary as it is essential that all members arrive at the same time to commence the tour”
See George or John at Architecture for Fun desk or send George a text on 07826 048379 if a member wants to join the trip
The ‘friday strollers’ group numbers continue to grow. We have agreed to use the same walk each week, which is about 1.5 miles.
We walk for about 1 hour at a slow, steady pace and then go to ‘Bernies’ for breakfast. Some folk who are unable to walk join us for a cuppa at the end of the walk.
One of our members entertained us by sharing some poetry she had written. It is very much a social occasion.
If you would like more information please call Brenda McKenzie on 07900 525222
On a grey, overcast morning, twenty two Stramblers met at Aughton Park Station to follow the Yellowhammer Route Walk. We started along Long Lane, crossing Prescot Road and Holborn Hill. Twenty yards or so down Holborn Hill we turned on to a path past a small housing estate, then through a field. This took us to a pumping station at a reservoir (with a boxer on guard).

Last Friday (21st Oct) History for Fun, for the first time had an external speaker, Frank Carlyle, the Liverpool historian. He fully engrossed everyone at a well attended meeting (30 plus) with his tales of Liverpool characters and Liverpool firsts, most of which none of us knew about. We hope to rebook him in 2023
Many thanks to Eric Purvis the assistant Leader who beavered away in the background to organise the event
Look forward to see you all at the next meeting – Norman
