Our first event of 2023 was the SoFA Coffee Morning on 14 January 2023 at the United Reform Church, Church Road, Formby. It was rather a wet morning. However, 64 brave souls (and two young guests) fought the weather to attend. It was great to see so many members attend and take advantage of the opportunity to renew their membership for 2023.
The draw of our coffee, tea, biscuits, the large selection of raffle prizes as well as a catch-up and with other members must have been strong.
A big ‘thank you’ to all who attended and to the committee members and family who helped make it a successful morning.
Paul Semple from the Formby Reserve supplied us with an update of all that is going on there. He brought with him copies of their latest Nature Haven News, which members enjoyed reading. It was interesting to learn that the pre-historic footprints, that appear on Formby Beach during some low tides, have recently been analysed by experts and declared that they are about 9000 years old.
He also gave an update on the car park on Lifeboat Road as well as the local red squirrel population.
Formby Reserve are busy planning various activities with local schools as well as residents. More information can be found on the noticeboard at Formby and they advertise their walks via their social media pages.
Members were supplied with a list of all the arranged outings for 2023, details of our February and March Speaker meetings and a reminder about our AGM in April.
Our Speaker meetings and AGM will be held at Christ Church, Lord Street Southport. Please click here for more information.
