Future Programme

11th November – Wednesday – Reg Grifiths will lead this month’s walk.  Please contact him, nearer to the date, on 0151 427 6198 for more details.    He will also advise the lunch venue in case you wish to join the walkers for a meal.

25th November – Wednesday – This is the date for the Christmas lunch on the barge at the Mill Hotel in Chester.   We will meet at the hotel at 12 noon.   Bryan Kayley has asked for the balance of the cost of the meal to be sent to him by 25th October 2009.   The balance of the cost of the meal, after the payment of £5 deposit, is £12.50 per person.  Please see the attached reply slip with details of Bryan’s address.    The committee would welcome, also, any donations for the draw which will be held as usual on the day.   We thank you in advance for all donations.

9th December, 2009 – Wednesday – This will be the first official “Alan Nield Christmas Walk and Lunch”.   We remember Alan on this day in particular, as he spent many years organising the Christmas walk in Delamere.  The walk will commence at 10.00am, when we meet in the Barnes Bridge Car Park.  Following the walk, we will go to the Tiger’s Head, Norley, for lunch at 1.00pm for 1.30pm.   Details of the menu and cost are not available as yet, but anyone who advises Ken Potter that they wish to attend will be notified as soon as that information is to hand.  Please contact Ken Potter by 10th November, 2009 if you wish to have lunch.  A reply slip is provided at the end of this letter.   Ken is on 0151 334 3802.

21st December – Monday – Seats have been reserved provisionally for the Carol Concert at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall.   The concert, which is called “Countdown to Christmas” will commence at 7.30pm and will cost £11 per person.   Taking part will be the Liverpool Welsh Choral Society, the Northop Silver Band and Bishop Eton School Choir.   Roger Phillips will present the performance.    Please return the reply slip to Bryan Kayley by the 14th September.    We apologise for the short notice on this occasion, but we are constrained by the requirements of the Philharmonic booking office.   Bryan can be contacted on 0151 608 6220.

21st January, 2010 – Thursday – Seats have been provisionally reserved for the Everyman Pantomime, which this year will be “Dick Whitttington”.   The cost will be £14.50 per person, and the programme begins at 7.30pm.   It has been suggested that the evening could start with a meal at the “Bistro Jacques” on Hardman Street.   Those wishing to eat at the Bistro should meet there at 5.00pm to avoid the likely crowds and hopefully prevent having to queue for long periods.   To book for the panto, please reply to me, Rita Harraghy, by 30th September using the reply slip provided.

Quiz night and the Cruise!!!

 

Relaxing in the lounge

The Editor writes:- "Yet again Liverpool hosted a  quality “Bargain” break with dinner now 4 courses! Early evening entertainment was as usual hosted in Pat Currie’s Suite with the whole party of 21 enjoying pre-dinner drinks and nibbles. After dinner entertainments featured Bryan Kayleys’s Quiz and a stunning slide show of the Lake District from a local photographer. Fitting in with the weather Rob Powell conjured up his inevitably stimulating walks, while  Non-walkers enjoyed the local bus services and Windermere cruises, one of which was enhanced by a party of 20 or so Japanese ladies, who insisted on photographs with myself and Roy Thornhill of Nottingham (See page 1). Thank you Liverpool I look forward to next year.”
