On 23 July 2026 about 20 of us paid a visit to the Imperial War Museum in Manchester. Apart from the overall quality of the museum we all found the exhibits of Spies, Lies and Deception to be particularily interesting. See some general pics below - by kind permission of Susan James and Irene Anderson.
On 24 July 2025 17 of us paid a return visit to the New Ferry Butterfly Farm. It was great weather for viewing many different types of wild life. The following pictures are by kind permission of Mike Cox and Susan James.
On 22 May 2025 a small group of us had a trip to the Sick to Death museum in Chester. We completed quizzes in the autopsy room, gathered information from differently presented displays, diagnosed injuries from x rays, matched virus graphics to illnesses, followed the development of knowledge and the people who were involved. There was much lively discussion! Everyone had a fun time.
