March-ing On in 2013

Here are our offerings for March... which ones do you fancy?

March 1st Film Showing Barbara has kindly offered to open her home to us so we can have a comfortable seat for a special showing of "The Best Marigold Hotel" The film will begin at 7:30, so get there early to claim a good seat. Bring your own popcorn or other movie snacks! RSVP Barbara Shapton

March 7th Dinner at the Architect Sadly we missed this last month so we are going to try again! Meet us at the Architect at 7pm. There is limited parking at the pub, but plenty across in the public car park. RSVP Renee van der Laan.

March 17th Sunday Lunch We have a few members who are also members of the Chester Golf Club near Curzon Park. The Club has a good restaurant and chef, so we are reserving a table for Sunday Lunch to sample their wares for ourselves. We hadn’t realised, when we chose the date for our next Sunday Lunch, that it was also St. Patrick's Day. Now, we can’t promise that we will be surrounded by leprechauns (a leipreachán is a type of fairy in Irish folklore, usually taking the form of an old man, clad in a red or green coat)or that they will serve our food, but we can promise that you will have a fabulous meal with good friends from Newcomers to Chester. Please let Barbara George know by the 15th March at the absolute latest if you are able to join us.

March 23rd Walk & Pub Lunch The days are getting longer and warmer, so it is time to dust off your walking boots/wellingtons and blow off the cobwebs. We will meet at the Glasfryn in Mold (please park in the upper right hand corner of the parking lot), then carpool to Halkyn Mountain for a three-hour walk. This is a remarkable upland limestone plateau situated between the Clwydian Hills and the Dee Estuary in North Flintshire. It runs roughly parallel with the Dee estuary and overlooks the towns of Holywell and Flint. After this breathtaking scenery we will need to replenish ourselves, so we will return to the Glasfryn for a well-deserved lunch. If you don't fancy the walk, just meet us at the Glasfryn for lunch at 1:30pm. If the weather is too horrendous for a walk, we will still meet for lunch. RSVP Lynda Busler so we know how large a table to book.
