Belfast Walk – 5th June 2015
It was a typical summers day for our walk, a few skiffs of rain, a cold breeze and the odd glimpse of the sun. The day started in the right fashion with tea/coffee and scones in Flame on Howard St. before meeting up at the City Hall with our guide Billy Dickson. The walk went along the City Hall taking in the monuments on the eastern side, and then on to the Dublin Road and the Ulster Hall where were able to see the paintings in the Carey Gallery. The walk then took us along Ormeau Avenue to Alfred St. to view St. Malachy’s church, best known for its fan vaulted ceiling which is an imitation of the Henry VII Chapel in Westminster Abbey. We then continued along Sussex Place and Hamilton Street to St Georges Market Bar and Grill for lunch.
Some photos of the walk can be viewed by clicking on the images below.

New Year’s Lunch
Around eighty of our members attended our New Year lunch in Armagh City Hotel on Wednesday, 21st January 2015. Everyone enjoyed the new venue, food and the atmosphere was buzzing! It was a great start to our New Year and gave us all an opportunity to catch up on the news from over the festive season. Hopefully we caught up with old friends and met some new ones.

Well done to Eleanor for organising the event.
Some of our cyclists were modelling our new U3A tee shirts. No excuse for getting lost now!
You don’t need to be a cyclist to wear one. The shirts are obtainable from Alan Turtle at a cost of £11. ( 38870494)
