Hello,
We have a week and 4 days left of classes before the Do Fitness Easter break which is from Good Friday 15 April until we start back on Monday 25 April. Our Nordic Walk is replaced by the Cuckoo Walk in Brindle (see below) on 23 April.
It was great to see class members at the Salsa Party on Saturday evening- there was alot of laughter and fun.

We are having a prize draw to win on of these beautiful hand knitted blankets made by our amazing class member Debbie Tuson. £1 to enter your name in the draw.
So far you have raised £120 (knitted bunnies and teddies) for Ukraine Appeal Disaster and Emergency Committee and donated items like medicines, toiletries and tinned food have been taken to International Aid Trust THANK YOU!

Cuckoo Walks Brindle Saturday 23 April – no 10.30am Nordic Walk group that day
I have booked onto the 6 mile walk and there is no Nordic Walk group that Saturday.
The Brindle Cuckoo Walks are an annual event run to encourage walkers to enjoy the countryside around Brindle Village by joining us on our family-friendly day. Walks of different lengths are offered and each is led by an experienced Leader, enabling everyone to enjoy the countryside in the company of other walkers. Numbers are limited, so early registration on-line is advised. (see below for details) Pick a walk length that suits you (or your group) and pay by Credit Card or PayPal. This event is run by volunteers from the Brindle Community, and profits are given to charities and local causes. This year, the beneficiaries will be voted for by all registered walkers on the day, and funds distributed accordingly.
