Forever Fitness 55+ Euxton lunch This week Friday 16th August we are going next door after class to Papa Luigis for lunch at about 12.30pm. This is just to let anyone know who wasn’t there last week. Just bring a spare t-shirt to change into – we are not getting dressing up. Every week the smell of garlic bread wafts through to us in class from Papa Liugis so we have finally given in to it!

Scam email

Some of you may have received a strange email saying I am stuck in a Bus Station in Cyprus. Please ignore it -my email account was hacked into. Horrible feeling that somebody is pretending to be me. All passwords have been changed but please use diane@dofitness.org rather than my old yahoo email.
Forever Fitness 55 Plus formerly Super Seniors Monday afternoon class This class has finished for the summer.

Leyland Festival
We have a stand at Leyland Festival this Saturday on Worden Park. Come and see us if you are at the festival. I will be on the stage at 3pm for a 15 minutes Zumba slot if you can join in (you don’t need to be on the stage don’t worry just have a bit of a dance). It should be fun.

Chorley Carnival
Wow! Brilliant day. We marched and danced through Chorley with Danny Henry and the drumming group Sambafriq- hopefully more people from DO Fitness will join me next year –  it was such a great day. Thanks to the people who did join me. We are on the front page of the Chorley Guardian- with a thousand other people so get you magnifying glass out to spot us!

Derian House
Roya Khadem came in from Derian House to our Thursday Zumba class and accepted a cheque for £350 from us. She has written to me thanking you all for supporting Derian House.

Super Seniors- another class
There is going to be another Super Seniors class at Buckshaw Village Community Centre on Mondays at 1.30pm term-time only. It starts on 24th of June.

Chorley Carnival Saturday 8th June
We are going to make Chorley feel like Rio de Janeiro this weekend! DO Fitness has been invited to join Sambafriq, the Samba band to march and dance our way through Chorley this Saturday 8th June. You don’t need a carnival costume but just your brightest T-shirt . We will follow the dancer Danny Henry’s easy to follow moves through Chorley. It’s really great fun. I am taking my daughter Eleni- she loves it!
Meeting time- 10.45am at Botany Bay car park. We will end up at Astley Park gates. The route is Botany Bay Car Park, Blackburn Road, Eaves Lane, George Street, Chorley Lamp, Market Street, Astley Park Gates on Park Road. Join us at any point!

Leyland Festival Saturday 15th June
We will be at  Worden Park all day of Leyland Festival on the DO Fitness stand. I have a 15 minute slot on the stage at 3pm when I will do a few of our Zumba dances finishing with the Cotton Eye Joe song for the USA theme of the Festival. If you are free and you can join in then that would be great!

Presentation to the Ross Tomlinson Tribute Fund
We presented a cheque for £350 – half of the money we raised from our charity night- to Linda Tomlinson last Thursday  see our photo http://www.dofitness.org/latest-news/. Linda is Ross Tomlinson’s mum. She was very grateful to you all and really touched by your generosity. Thank you. A representative from Derian House should be coming to class tonight for us to present the other £350

Fitness Fusion special offer.
We have an additional Fitness Fusion class now on Thursdays at 6pm at Prospect House. It is 30 minutes of ‘get you fit fast’ exercise but you can still work at your own level. Cardio, strength, core and flexibility in one class. The class is £3 but if you stay for Zumba afterwards it is only £2 for the rest of June.

Radio Lancashire.
I am on Radio Lancashire talking about Pilates tomorrow Friday 7th of June at 3pm. The last two  times I was due on to do this was when we had the freakish snow drifts up here in White Coppice and  I couldn’t get out and after that I had a virus which affected my speech – no good for radio. So keep your fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Enjoy this gorgeous weather everyone.
