Thank you to everyone who brought bags down to the hall on Saturday the 13th July and those who also stayed for our Coffee Morning. The GNAA have informed us that our bags weighed 208kg which equates to £208 raised for their charity. Now that books and heavier items have been removed from collections by GNAA, we’ll need to collect a lot more bags next time to increase the total!

Please note that our next bag collection will take place on SATURDAY 14TH DECEMBER to coincide with our Christmas Coffee Morning, 10 – 11:30am. Bags need to at the hall by 11am please when the GNAA van is booked.

Thank you again for supporting this vital service.

Seated/standing session. Fabulous way to stretch and work at a gentler pace. After a little catch up we warm up, strengthen, play games or do some pair work, and improve our mobility plus balance. Something to look forward to in the week. If you want to do it all seated, then that is fine. If you want to stand up for most of it, then that is fine too. I provide all equipment that is needed. All welcome. Contact Debbie Jackman 07776162125 or debbie@get-active.co.uk for more information or just come down. £8.50 drop in (one class free if you pay for the half term).
