Hello everyone

I am sorry to start this email with really sad news. A much loved class member has died. People who come to circuits on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays will know our Eric Nixon. He passed away yesterday morning after a short illness. He came to his last Circuits class in the middle of February with his usual humour. He was one of my rocks and supported me when I was really ill with MS and when my son died. There will be a card to sign all week for anybody who knew him which I will give to is lovely wife Zoe.

Class holidays
There will be no classes 23 – 27 March Monday to Friday (apart from Tuesday Zumba Gold Chorley run by Ann Smith).
I will be away in Somerset on an Overcoming MS Retreat learning strategies to slow progression of MS.

Corona Virus (COVID-19)
I know everyone is well informed about this. The policy for our classes is to wash hands thoroughly ( sing Happy Birthday twice) before class and after class. I will keep you posted about any changes to the timetable if that becomes necessary.
