Long Walks
The 5th of March saw us at Whaley Thorns for our March walk, which was 9 miles. We set off from the railway station carpark, over the fields to Cuckney, passing the lake there which was full of different species of birds. We carried on through Park House Plantation, past Nether Langwith and back through Poulter Country Park, at one point following the River Poulter, and back to Whaley Thorns.
It was an overcast day, but good company, we all had a good time. There was a little mud but all in all a pleasant walk.
My thanks go to Steve and Carol who sourced and led the walk.
The group photo is a monument, meant to resemble a Rhino’s horns.

Litter Picking Group
During February, our u3a litter pickers collected a total of 26 bags of rubbish throughout our area. However, two members who are also members of the proactive Hucknall Wombles litter picking group collected 22 bags of rubbish in just one day from the Butlers Hill tram stop/tin bridge locality. Well done to the Wombles but what a sad indictment on society that so much litter is strewn in a relatively small area.
If anyone knows anywhere which is in need of our help please contact me as per the group contact details at the end of the newsletter and we will do our best to help.

Growing Old Disgracefully
In March, twenty of our group had a very enjoyable day out in Nottingham. We met at Lost City in the Cornerhouse for a round of Crazy Golf. It was great value as well – just £7 for 18 holes and it included a free hot drink!
Our overall winner was Lynda Jackson, with a score of 44.
We then walked around the corner to Bella Italia for our well-deserved meal!
A good day altogether.
