| THE CHATTERY – 8TH MAY THE CHATTERY this week welcomes to the lounges of the Gild Hall, Fr. Bernard Higham, who will give a talk entitled: “The Life and Times of The English Martyrs.” We are sure that this will prove to be a most interesting and informative account about a period in Catholic history which features prominently in our own area of Lancashire. Come along on Wednesday 8th May from 2pm to 3.30pm. Tea/ coffee / biscuits £ 1.50. All welcome! |
| OLOC FELL WAKERS – 11TH MAY OLOC Fell Walkers have two circular walks on the 11th May 2024 from the Derbyshire Village of Eyam in the Peak District. The A walk is 10.6 miles and 2060 ft of ascent. We walk past a number of the village landmarks and out onto the moors, good views from Sir William Hill, through Abney Clough to Abney, returning via Bretton and Foolow. The B walk is 7.3 miles and 1060 ft. mostly on good tracks, walking through Eyam to Coombe Dale and returning via Stoney Middleton. Eyam is known as the “Plague Village” where the villagers isolated themselves for a year to try to contain an outbreak of bubonic plague. The A walk is higher and faster and the B, a slower, lower walk. We are a friendly group and everyone is welcome. The coach leaves from the corner of School Lane and Church Road, Formby, at 8am on the day and you can book your place by ringing 01704 878548. There is always an early stop for coffee/tea/bacon barms and time after the walk to visit shops, cafes and pubs in the area. Please wear weather appropriate clothing and bring a packed lunch together with something waterproof to sit on. Sticks can also be helpful. |
