Very poor from @MarstonsPLC. Took a group of 26 Scouts for dinner with the 40% off mains voucher x 4. Asked to split and pay for 3x8 plus 1x3 but was told no before ordering! Had to pay full price.

Are you an Anglican Presbyter or Deacon and looking to re-plant a church in the North West of England?
If so, please do be in touch.
We are soon to launch an excellent House-for-Duty post at St John’s Tottington.
Ideal for a creative bi-vocational minister.

A day off today so I took the time to complete another qualifying walk towards my Lowland Leader Award.
A wet but enjoyable walk in the Ribble Valley visiting Ribchester and Hurst Green.

Winter may be quieter at the Activity Centre, but our volunteers are hard at work 🛠️
From repairing canoes to improving boat storage, their behind-the-scenes efforts keep our equipment safe, efficient, and ready for the busy season ahead. Huge thanks to the team!

Please take a few minutes to write to your local MP asking for their support for this early days motion. Let's get our young people guaranteed access to an outdoor resedential!

Great meeting this morning with Emma and Sarah from @CanalRiverTrust Community Roots Pennine Lancashire team 🤝
Positive discussions on partnership working to help get more people outdoors and active along the Leeds & Liverpool Canal in Blackburn. A really exciting initiative!
