walks are planned for the autumn including, perhaps, another visit to a beach”. The Tuesday Group has been out for a meal at Barley Farm in Eccles, played bingo, and had a trivial pursuits afternoon; there was also a visit from Hale Ukuhalee Band, who gave a highly entertaining musical afternoon which was enjoyed thoroughly by everyone. The group has also visited William Hulme Grammar School, one of its favourite places; group member Peter Rhodes tells us why he enjoys visiting the school; “I enjoy getting out to different places and visiting different venues. It’s nice to get to speak to the kids as they come and sit round the tables with you to have a chat. Group Leader Morris was ‘Part of the Furniture’ a very long time ago, so it’s nice for us to visit his old workplace - not to mention the nice sandwiches we are given!” Our Art Gallery & Museums group visited the The Costume Gallery at Platt Hall in May for the “Mary Quant: Fashion Icon” exhibition, with description by Anne Hornby (pictured). The group had a wonderful time hearing about fashion from the 1960s and 1970s, and all had the opportunity to feel the different materials.
