Despite the lack of numbers, however, au admirable summer programme was drawn up, and though the inclemency of the weather has necessitated the postponement of one or two excursions, the few which have been held have proved very successful. The first excursion took place on May 19th, whim a party of cyclists enjoyed a ride through the 'Wirral, during which many 0f the smaller villages were visited. The following vVed11esday the club paid its third visit to Storeton, Travelling by boat to Rock Ferry, the party walked t0 Bebington Church, and after a short halt here to enable the members to examine the church they continued their walk to S~r~on. • On June 2nd the club went to Raby Mere, going by boat to New Ferry and then walking through Bromborough to the Mere. Here cameras were unpacked, and operations begun. Then after securing photographs of the Mere and stepping stones, we returned home via New Ferry. · On Saturday, June 26th, taking advantage of the holiday granted in recognition of the Scholarships gained at the University, the clnb went to Llangollen. The weather was particularly fine, so that a large number of members were present. \Ve proceeded by train to Chirk, and walked from there to Llangollen, a. pleasant walk of some six miles. After a brief stay there we went by canal boat to the Horseshoe Falls, pausing on the return journey to visit the Valle Crucis Abbey. This was, perhaps, the most enjoyable excursion of the season. On July 14th we paid our annual visit to Chester, postponed from June 23rd. On arriving there we went at once to the river, and then by boat to Eccleston. After tea we rowed to the Trou Bridge, . and then back again to Chester. After visiting the fine old cathedral, we had all too soon to return to the station on our homeward journey.
