Christmas Holiday dates

Hello,
Storm Alwyn played havoc with many people’s plans this weekend. I even cancelled our Nordic Walking session which is very unusual. The Leyland Christmas Festival has been postponed until next Saturday but they were able to have a delightful Friday Christmas Tree lights switch on with a brass band and carole singing. It was lovely but freezing!


Just two weeks left of classes before our Christmas break.
For your diary: Last class Saturday 11 December – classes start again Wednesday 5 January.

Christmas stocking fillers for the local MS Society

I have two amazing class members who have been busy making lovely warm winter Headbands and more Teddies. Thank you Judith and Lynne! They are £5 each and all money collected goes to the local MS Society.
 
New start location for Wednesday 3pm Nordic Walking
We will start from Town Brow on Sheep Hill Lane until Christmas so we can explore the other side of Cuerden Valley towards Kem Mill. Explore the park – Cuerden Valley Park

New start time for Thursday Wellbeing Walk to 3.30pm on Worden Park
We are going to start at 3.30pm due to it getting darker earlier.

Week beginning 15 November

Hello,

It has been a beautiful sunny weekend after some dark rainy days which has made me think about how we often feel in the winter months. In this part of the world we don’t get enough sunshine in winter so many people benefit from taking vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 is produced in our skin in response to sunlight. Vitamin D3 helps fight disease, reduces depression and helps maintain bone health. So if you tend to feel quite low in winter vitamin D3 is something to really consider. 

New start location  for Wednesday 3pm Nordic Walking from Wednesday 
We will start from Town Brow on Sheep Hill Lane until Christmas so we can explore the other side of Cuerden Valley towards Kem Mill. Explore the park – Cuerden Valley Park

New start time for Thursday Wellbeing Walk to 3.30pm on Worden Park
We are going to start at 3.30pm due to it getting darker earlier.

Week beginning 8 November

Hello,

Welcome to our new class members who have joined us recently. My goal is to have something for everyone so there are chair based options (Chairfit and Seated Pilates) if standing for a whole class is out of the question or the Wellbeing Nordic Walking group for a gentler paced walk. Exercise is not only good physically, as we all know, but helps us mentally in so many ways (and there is the social element of group exercise which is vitally important too.) Brain health is boosted by regular exercise.

We will start from Town Brow on Sheep Hill Lane until Christmas so we can explore the other side of Cuerden Valley towards Kem Mill. Explore the park – Cuerden Valley Park

New start time for Thursday Wellbeing Walk to 3.30pm on Worden Park

Week beginning 1 November – full timetable

Hello,
We have our full timetable back this coming week with all our usual sessions on.
I am away next Sunday on Pilates training in Manchester for more ideas for class. It feels like we are getting back to how things used to be with face to face teacher training.

Teddy Bears- fund raising for local MS Society
Thank you to everyone who bought a hand knitted teddy bear- you raised £70. A big thank you from the MS Society! And thank you to the amazing Judith who knitted all the teddies.

Reduced timetable – half-term week.

Hello,

Just a quick message – there will be a reduced timetable in half-term week- week beginning 25 October – next week. There will be no evening classes and no Nordic Walking during the week. If you have already booked something you will get a credit. I am trying to recover from Piriformis Syndrome so I am giving my body a little rest.

Love from Diane
