Today’s Christmas concert overcame some technical issues to provide a brilliant end to our u3a year.

The children from St George’s RC School sang their hearts out putting us all in a Christmas mood with their festive medley.

Our University Challenge sketch proved that often the audience know more than the teams (well it did today!) The contestants did their best but our own Bamber Gasgoine wasn’t impressed!!

We then had a repeat visit from the Aughton and Ormskirk Guitar Group. Their music had toes tapping and arms waving, with our voices lifting the roof.

Reverend Ralph gave the blessing before we all joined in with an energetic rendition of the Twelve Days of Christmas.   Many thanks to all who took part and helped.

We raised £670 on the day and added to the Book Sales collection of £150.00 meant we handed £820.00 to Woodlands Hospice. 🥳

Yes a lot of thank yous are due to everyone who has supported Day Trips and our Festive Break in  2025, to my “new” Assistants, my photocopying fairy, our photographers who take some amazing, memorable photos and at our Christmas Lunch  to Derek who  gifted our Santa hats and frightened us as The Grinch, Phil who serenaded us and to all who gave generously to our Woodlands collection in memory of an absent friend (£116) If I haven’t mentioned you thank you as well.  Here’s to 2026.

Due to the change in the date of our next Coffee Morning, we have had to cancel the Supper Club on 15th January 2026 as there is not enough time to take payment and confirm menu choices to the Restaurant.  We have rearranged it for Thursday 22nd January at 6pm at The Cricketers in Ormskirk.

We will be booking for this on Tuesday 13th January at the Coffee Morning. If you have your name on the list you will need to come in that day to pay (if you haven’t already) and choose your menu. Also if you have booked for 15th January and cannot make the new date please let us know or come into the Coffee Morning and your payment will be reimbursed .
