Hello,
I had a stand at the Menopause Fair at the Civic Centre in Leyland last weekend. It was organised by an amazing local group which you can join on Facebook (1) Menopause Support Group | Facebook It is a really wonderful initiative to raise awareness and understanding about this stage in women’s lives. One of the symptoms can be Brain Fog which can really impact on memory and speed of thinking and indeed our confidence. Here is a really good article about it:10 ways to beat brain fog – Rest Less
Defibrillator training
Thanks to all who attended the CPR and Defibrillator training last week. All agreed it was very informative and gave us more confidence about what to do in such an emergency. Thank you to the North West Ambulance First Responders who delivered the session. If you couldn’t make it but want to know more about what to do here is a useful video How to use a defibrillator | St John Ambulance (sja.org.uk)

Flamenco Evening in Preston Thursday 23 November
In Zumba we use music from all around the world but primarily Latin-inspired music such as salsa and merengue. I even add some flavours of flamenco to some dances. There is an opportunity to experience an evening of flamenco music and dance in Preston at Preston Playhouse in November .
