| Hello, Sorry this postl includes quite a few changes due to the leaking roof at Leyland Methodist Church Hall. I will remind you in class too if you come to Monday morning and Tuesday night classes. Last week my email talked about getting out in the fresh air and how good it was for us physically and mentally and when I went for a walk later I bumped into 5 different class members out for their walk! That is marvelous! No evening classes on Tuesday 25 January Sorry no classes that evening due to a family event. Change of Monday morning venue from 7 February due to roof repairs at Leyland Methodist Church Hall From 7 February our Monday classes are moving to Prospect House 45 Sandy Lane Leyland Last Tuesday evening classes 1 February – Zumba and Pilates moving to Thursday night at Prospect House, Sandy Lane. I am really sorry to say that due to the repairs to the leaky roof at Leyland Methodist our last Tuesday night classe will be on 1 February and then from 10 February Zumba will move to Thursday nights at 6.30pm at Prospect House. There is already a Pilates class at 7.30pm for people to join. I have found it impossible to find a Tuesday night venue. Nordic Walking Changes – Monday nights moving to Leyland and Thursday night finishing. Monday nights walk is moving to Leyland on Monday 7 February and the last Thursday night walk will be Thursday 3 February. Stamps Christine is still collecting used stamps for RNIB to help raise funds for people who are affected by sight loss. If you bring them into class I will forward them to her.RNIB – See differently Thank you Christine.

| Hello, I hope you have managed to get outdoors when the weather has been a bit better recently. It cannot be underestimated how good it is for us to get into the fresh air. It reduces stress, it helps you sleep better, you have more mental energy and focus apart from other things like reducing blood pressure and improving heart health. My daughter has even started to want go for walks with us because she realises how much better she feels after being indoors studying for her GCSEs. She is even keen to go out in the rain! Change of Monday venue from February From 7 February our Monday classes are moving to Prospect House 45 Sandy Lane Leyland No evening classes on Tuesday 25 January Sorry no classes that evening due to a family event. Nordic Walking Wednesdays Cuerden Valley Park Kem Mill ruins- a bit of local history We are exploring new areas of Cuerden Valley Park and we came across some ruins. Thank you Gill for sending me this information about the ruins we came across. The History Of Lower Kem Mill & Back Lane Woods The thriving Clayton-le-Woods that we know today really began in the 19th century as the population grew to meet the needs of the industrial revolution. Before this the centre of Clayton-le-Woods was at “Clayton Bottoms” which is the area in the dip at Sheep Hill Brow. Most people made a living from working on the land and from weaving cloth in their homes and evidence of this can be seen in the weavers cottages on Sheep Hill and Town Brow. As the industrial revolution expanded, Lancashire became the world’s largest cotton producer. There were two major mills in Clayton-le-Woods in the 19th century Swansey Mill, which was a weaving mill and the bleaching and Lower Kem Mill, dying works for the cotton The owner of Lower Kem Mill in the late 19th century was Albert Cunliffe, who grew wealthy and was able to move into a large house overlooking his works. This house still exists today at Claytonfields. Back Lane Woods Nature Reserve, now owned and managed by the Parish Council was part of the Claytonfields estate at this time. Albert Cunliffe was able to walk down to his mill through the woods and fields from his large house at Claytonfields. The map shows the locations of the Lower Kem Mill works and the owner’s house at Claytonfields. Sadly, Lower Kem Mill works was destroyed by a huge fire in 1914 and the business closed with the loss of 170 jobs.

Classes week beginning 10 January
Hello,
Can I just say how good it was to be back in class and see everyone again. I didn’t say this before but I was getting concerned that we wouldn’t be able to start again after Christmas due to Covid. Exercise and social connections are such a big part of our wellbeing that I feel so relieved that we can still have group fitness classes. Of course I am still ventilating the halls so please wear a jacket you can remove after our warm up as the venues will be a bit cooler.
Change of Monday venue in February
From 7 February our Monday classes are moving to Prospect House 45 Sandy Lane Leyland
