They are at Earlston Library, Liscard, until the end of March, followed by a month at Birkenhead Library.

The society, which is on the lookout for new members, meets on the third Wednesday of each month at the Twenty Row Public House, in Leasowe Road, Wallasey. Next meeting is March 17.

A TRIATHLON will be held on Sunday, April 25, from Seacombe Ferry to New Brighton, to raise funds to send under-privileged children to Ullswater outdoor pursuit centre in the Lake District.

Then you swim a length in the choppy Marine Lake before cycling back to Seacombe. Contact Eric on 639-1915 for an application form.
