SECRETARY`S REPORT 16/09/2021
Hi Guys
This week's update is a little early .
Social The fortnightly get-together at The Parkway is tomorrow evening at 8pm .
Next week we will probably be back there again after the Aqua .
Aqua I've had confirmation that this is going to start at 8.05 on Tuesday 21st September . Mary will be our tutor .
She's keen to see us all again . Unfortunately, this was the best time available .
The Thursday slot was no longer available and the slot before us on a Tuesday is booked to a swimming club .
Our session has to finish at 8.50 We should make it to the Parkway soon after 9 .
Halls Dean is back from his holidays so all is well at Trinity . (Thanks to Martin for holding the fort .)
As the photos were of St.Cuthbert's last week we are looking at a few of our Trinity group this week .
I know some people go to both sessions , however if you haven't tried the other one - Wednesday or Thursday it's worth giving it a try . We are lucky to have 2 excellent instructors and the members at each venue very sociable.
Joe Unfortunately Joe's championship fight did not go as planned . He lost on points . He's gutted but is determined to win his next fight and get back in contention for another championship bout . I told him he's still a champion in our eyes. He hopes to call in and see us soon .
Walks Yesterday we had a good walk through Fairy Dell . It only took about 45 mins .
Next week we are going on a new walk from our usual carpark at Ormesby Hall (near St. Cuthbert's Church Ormesby - off Church Lane ). The walk will take us over The Parkway (A 174) and through land on the south side of that road - below the hills . It should not take more than an hour .
Spare a thought for Gordon Scott . He was due to have an operation on his heart this week and had been trying to isolate prior to this . Unfortunately, the dreaded COVID still managed to catch him and he tested positive yesterday . This means his long-awaited operation is delayed once again .
Take care Gordon . Hope you are better soon .
Regards
Peter
