Leyland Festival and Friday night walks

Volunteers wanted for Leyland Festival
Leyland Festival is such a great community event and SRBC are asking for volunteers to help with the event on 20th June 2015. Lunch is provided for volunteers and a free guest ticket. A great opportunity to meet new people. Email festival@southribble.gov.uk. The web-site is www.leylandfestival.co.uk

Friday  Night Walks
Have a look at http://www.westpennineway.org/ for their programme of Friday night walks. See Walks 1 and Walks 2 I would love to go on them all especially the ones around White Coppice and Rivington where we used to live. I am hoping to go on the one on 29th May from Rivington and on 12th June from White Coppice. Such lovely countryside on our doorstep!

St. Catherine’s Bollywood Night
This is taking place on Friday 26th June at 7.30pm in the marquee at St. Catherine’s. (Lostock Lane, Lostock Hall, Preston PR5 5XU) Enjoy Indian food, henna tattoos and learn how to boogie to Bollywood music. We may even  be asked to do our current Bollywood dance along with the other attendees. If you want to practice here is a very similar version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBCne-wm3uc

To book on to the night go to: http://www.stcatherines.co.uk/fundraising/event/bollywood-night/ You can buy your ticket on line or pay over the phone. We should have a lot of fun.

We have booked tickets for the afternoon performance on 5th September for tickets see:http://www.atgtickets.com/shows/britains-got-bhangra/palace-theatre-manchester/. We are booked in the circle if anyone wants to join us. I love Bhangra so really looking forward to it.

Training days
As most of you know I love going on training days. Next weekend I am going on a course called Cancervive in Glossop. This course is for fitness professionals working with people who are diagnosed with or recovering from breast cancer. As I have quite a number of people in my classes who have had breast cancer I wanted to learn more. Busy weekend as also next weekend I am on Abdominal Evolution with Kelly Reed-Banks. Lots of ideas for Pilates classes for me to experiment on you.

I am planning the new timetable from September, some short courses and one-off events. If you have any ideas or requests please let me know.
