Actlvities & Achievements The committee made plans to visit Warrington to mark the anniversary of the Warrington bomb of which has always been an important part of our group having been the first group to visit there after the atrocity. The event was a fitting remembrance, and also an opportunity to meet with old friends and renew acquaintances which have stood the test of time and endured over many years.
The committee also met with a delegation from Warrington to explore possible new connections and commonality that may lend itself to new projects between our group and Warrington which will be explored further in the year ahead. Leisure walks and 'fireside' chats were organised for those more elderly to ensure that they continue to feel part of the local rural community which we serve. This proved very successful and again something to build on in the year ahead. Our group was involved in many different activities during the year which included making food and lunches with product from our community garden each Saturday and for the camps during the year run by Crewe Unlted whlch helps to sustain our people and our organisation.
