A discussion on the future of the group will be the main topic of the meeting. The idea is to spread the load and at the same time make the scope of the meetings broader and appeal to interests of more of the members. We're looking for ideas and people to pursue them. If 10 people plan 1 meeting each they can get a speaker they would like to hear, share something themselves or just have a go at something new!

This is a cut and paste of the letter David said after the March meeting. 'May I say how much I enjoyed Friday morning - a delightful group and it was a pleasure to speak to you all again...... I would be more than happy to write a special "Liverpool Lives 2" talk just for your group - I have checked out some names and I have enough for another talk.' A talk specially for us deserves a big audience please.

There has been some discussion, amongst the walk leaders, about what to do as it is New Year's Day. It's a subject they intend to return to. It is unlikely to be the agreed date. There is also likely to be further discussion about whether a drier alternative should be found.
