Thank you, thank you, thank you, to all our members who have so generously sponsored Maria Mullin to run in the London Marathon at the end of April to raise money for Dementia Revolution.
So far you have raised £960 to fund research to help fight this dreadful disease.
She will be running in memory of her grandad George who enjoyed many happy years in our U3A before he died.
If you would still like to help you can donate online here. For offline donations please see Wanda & Brian Leach at Tuesday coffee mornings.
The next Ramble will be on Thursday 4th April to the Douglas Valley in Parbold area.This is an 8 mile ramble over varied terrain of fields, hills, canal and lanes. The walk will be muddy so appropriate footwear is required. Lunch in the pub at the end of the walk. Car share as usual.
The Easy Walkers will meet this coming Thursday 4th April at Maghull station to catch the 9:46 train. Walk will be an easy 5 mile walk along the Wirral Way from Hooton to Parkgate. Contact Judith Jones at the coffee morning or on 07443 334222 for more details.
The first meeting of this new group took place this afternoon. A relatively new member of our U3A stepped up and took on the mantle of a new group. Thank you John for doing this! 52 people attended, which I think is a record for a new group. We were introduced to some of the 59 articles enshrined in law by the European Convention of Human rights, as well as hearing about the unconventional route John had taken to become a Barrister. The talk was lively and informative and was appreciated by the audience.The group will continue to be held in the afternoon of the 3rd Thursday each month. If you wish to continue to attend, or were unable to make this group but wish to join, please see Brenda McKenzie on the group support desk at the coffee morning.
