One year next week

I will have been in my new job for a year this coming week!.

To celebrate the section are going out for a meal in Liverpool after work as we all started together and are all still here ! Been very challenging especially as sometimes we feel we are fighting a battle with the company to get things done ( and some people would rather things were still in London )

We've had to update and change procedures ( not always our doing ) but still people don't like the new way of working as it involves more checks for work done - which really benefits the client against stolen funds etc . I think the old section in London used to correct information if it was wrong themselves and we don't as we send it back to the senders to do !

Have to work next Bank holiday too as we have Irish clients who don't have the May Bank holidays off . My turn is the first one and then other staff are covering the others , eg end of May and August . Still its double pay on overtime which comes in very handy !

Adventure Golf - New Brighton

New Brighton has now got an Adventure Golf course on the site of the tennis courts up by the
Clown statue that greets you on the way into New Brighton from the "dips end " of the prom.



It costs £6.00 for adults and £4.00 for children and there are family packages too available.
I was surprised by how big it was as its 18 holes packed tight together but of a good size and length.

Went there yesterday  as it was a nice day but a bit blusterry to play I thought. Will come back in a few weeks when I have more time off to enjoy!

New Brighton was not too bad and quite busy round the supermarket area as you'd expect for a Saturday ....  as you can see the lake area was a bit rough and the tide was coming in to .
