Week beginning 24 November and Christmas holiday dates and lunches

Hello,
We have just 3 weeks left of our full timetable before we break for Christmas. (Evening classes finish this week and Euxton classes finish next week.) Christmas always takes me by surprise, even though it is the same date every year!

Christmas can be a challenging time for people if they live alone and don’t have family nearby. If you know anybody in this situation, please let them know about local events like the one below:


Euxton Community Centre classes- door and Christmas break.
The door is stiff to open, and although I leave it slightly ajar when I unlock it, it gets shut again, but it is not locked! Please use a bit of strength to open it. It has been reported to the caretaker.
Last class Euxton class Tuesday 2 December 

Christmas Holiday Dates
Last evening classes –  Thursday 27 November
Last daytime classes –   Friday 12 December
(Euxton Community Centre classes finish Tuesday 2 December.)
All classes start again on Monday 5 January 2026

Christmas fundraising raffle for the Chorley and Leyland MS Society
One of our clever class members has made these wonderful prizes for this year’s raffle. Thank you so much, Aileen. They are beautiful. Thank you to Lynne too, who has made some beautiful scarves to add to the prizes. Tickets are available in class. The local MS Society does amazing work to support people with MS, Chorley and Leyland Group | Multiple Sclerosis Society UK
