SECRETARY`S REPORT 25/5/2026
Hi Folks
Tomorrow's walk is from what used to be Nature's World - behind The Bluebell on Acklam Road - turn at the roundabout on Ladgate Lane . I've requested parking there . Previously we were told to notify them if we were going to use the car park - this has been done . Next week we are at Preston Park .
Last week we managed to find some puddles but Dave H didn't turn up 😯
Tea and coffee this week :- Trinity - Ted Doherty and Johnnhy Walker . (Next week John Waite and Will Hoe )
St. Cuthbert's - Simon McKinnon and Jeff Saxton (Next week-David Sharpe and David Kerr)
I have inadvertently missed off a few names from the list . Please don't be offended if I ask you to step in for an absent member . The coffee / tea rota covers about 14 weeks at St. Cuthberts and 12 weeks at Trinity .
Those who are attending aerobics this week will have to suffer "Yours truly" as both our instructors are deserting us . It will be the usual warm up + circuit followed by the opportunity to put the world to rights or pick a new Boro team for next season 😂
Whitby Trip Monday 22ndJune.
I have now received the train tickets .
We will be distributing these at Trinity and St. Cuthberts . You will need 2 tickets -outgoing and return .
If you don't normally attend either of these venues please arrange for a colleague to collect your tickets as I don't want to be handing them out at the stations on the day of the trip. Thank you .
You can use the tickets to board the train at any Middlesbrough Station .There should be ramps available and staff to help to support members with wheelchairs getting on and off the trains.
The train leaves Middlesbrough about 10.15 and returns from Whitby at 4pm. The journey is approximately 1 and a half hours .
In spite of our disappointment last Saturday I've managed to find details of an exhibition which helps us remember the glory days of
The Boro . This is at Acklam Library on Monday 15thJune. 1pm - 3pm
Best wishes to Mike Naylor ,who is recuperating from breaking his leg. He is at Fountains Nursing Home Coulby Newham . Thanks to Colin Mortllock for visiting him on our behalf .
Keeping our fingers crossed for Gwyn Dinsdale as he battles his cancer . We are all supporting you Gwyn 👍
Also wishing Barbara Bell (Ray's wife)a swift recovery as she battles a broken hip having already suffered from a recent stroke .
Keep up the good work - Ray .
Charlie Rooney is in talks with staff at Jack Hatfields Club , Acklam Road to organise a fund raising event for us -probably in September or October - Watch this space .
Committee meeting at Trinity on Monday .10am
That's all folks
Regards
Peter
