Walk on…walk on…along the canal
Each year the Woolton Group has organised a sponsored walk in aid of charity, and 2010 was no exception.
The walk this year took place a little earlier in the year to allow for the monies raised to be collected in and deposited as a contribution towards the final 2010 Festival total. The route was along the canal between Lydiate and Haskayne, a real West Lancashire treat. The walk was around six miles with the starting and finishing point being the Running Horses at Lydiate and the ‘half way’ point for refreshments at the Ship Inn at Haskayne.
The walk raises considerable amounts for charity each year and would request that those interested should keep a watch on the web site for the details of the 2011 walk.
Family and friends, (two and four legged) will be most welcome…

David wins trophy in memory of his son
Woolton Group Chairman David Hawkes became the first winner of a golf trophy which he and his wife Francine donated in memory of their son.
In a break from the usual British weather the competition took place in beautiful conditions at the Woolton Golf Club.
The event was extremely well attended with 33 playing golf and 43 dining. Assistant to the Provincial Grand Principals, Clive Jefferies, and Assistant Provincial Grand Master Stanley Oldfield were in attendance.
Unfortunately the Assistant Provincial Grand Master with responsibility for the Woolton Group, Dennis Rudd, was prevented from attending due to a security scare at Euston Station.
Graham Sinden (Chairman of the Woolton Group Golf) won the Geoffrey Hirst Trophy for the best front nine.
Not to be outdone the Woolton Group Chairman David Hawkes in a twist of fate won the Noel Hawkes Trophy for the best back nine. This was the inaugural year of this prize as it was donated by David and his wife Francine in memory of their son Noel who tragically died last year.
Mrs Hawkes presented the new trophy to her husband.
Dramatic Lodge (Richie Woods, Peter Woods and Tom Grover) retained the Cyril Smith Team Trophy just beating City Lodge. Ray Erskine of Mariners Lodge won the President’s Trophy for the best individual score.
