Eight of us enjoyed a walk around Shrewley this week. Walking mainly through fields we did manage to see the three key transport systems that have changed the nature of the countryside over the last few centuries. First we walked alongside the M40, almost deafened by the traffic thundering by. Soon we crossed the railway.Continue reading “Walking around Shrewley”

Transforming Lives: Basketball, Coaching, and Teamwork
Our new season of MIRTH kicked off with a fascinating talk about Basketball and Coaching. Andy Ransberry has spent most of his life playing and coaching basketball ( Apparently he played basketball as a child growing up in Canada due to his mum not wanting to take him to a 4AM hockey (ice) session). HeContinue reading “Transforming Lives: Basketball, Coaching, and Teamwork”
A walk in all seasons.
We met at The Oak in Baginton. The pub was temporarily closed, but let us use the carpark. (They plan to reopen Saturday 13th June). As we gathered, we were watching the storm clouds and at 10 the heavens opened. We sought shelter in the huts at the Oak. Once the rains subsided, we setContinue reading “A walk in all seasons.”

The Festive Fayre was much looked forward to – someone thought there was aContinue reading “MIRTH Christmas Lunch 9th December 2025”

He still came in earlier and preparedContinue reading “MIRTH Curry Night”
Walking around Kenilworth
This month we walked around Kenilworth Common. It was good to welcome two MIRTHers to their first walk with us. Richard had planned a route that passed through the common crossing the railway and over to abbey fields. We walked across Kenilworth Common enjoying the autumn colours and passing a few interesting industrial remains fromContinue reading “Walking around Kenilworth”
