New exercise class ‘Fit as a Fiddle’ for the over 50s

10:11am Wednesday 6th October 2010 in Park District

THE new ‘Fit as a Fiddle’ exercise to music for the over 50’s with Elaine South from Age Concern is attracting a good attendance on Tuesdays 1pm-2pm.

Your first session is free and then there is a series of thirteen spread over the next few months. You can proceed at your own pace.

THE Macmillan Coffee Morning raised over £93.

Thanks to Genny and friends for organising this. It was a very enjoyable morning.

IT is really great that Pat Lea attends the Waterside Singers on Monday afternoons and then takes the evening session of Sing-a-long.

This is a fun filled hour from 6.30pm until 7.30pm when we sing and chat about all the old songs, of course I am far too young to know most of them.

Then at 7.45pm there is Line Dancing with Pat, again is at a gentle pace. We are raising funds for Pat’s charity.

The success story of the Waterside Singers continues and we have several concerts planned. We have to thank Johanna Wolff, our teacher for moulding the group, who when we started as the project stated ‘Can’t sing… neither can we’, into a fine choir who are confident enough to take part in concerts and entertain at old peoples homes.

THE Forum would like to thank Coun Joy Stanley for judging the Garden Competition this year as Jack Sargent was not well, we send our good wishes for the future.

The certificates and results will be announced at the Community Meeting on Wednesday, October 20 at 7.30pm. Come along and see if you have won, also catch up on the Pact priorities updated by the police and bring up any concerns you might have in the area.

ON Saturday, October 16 at 7pm we have the Community Quiz.

£3.50 to enter, which includes light refreshments, you are welcome to bring your own bottles.

Teams of four but if you are on your own we can make teams up on the night. There is a prize of £20 for the winning team. We hope to see you on the night, it is great fun and a chance to meet new friends.
