Monday:

Why not start each week with a boost to your vitality, courtesy of Tai Chi sessions for beginners and intermediates.  These take place in the hall every Monday morning at 10am and cost either £6.50 per session on the day, or £60 for 10 lessons if paid in advance.  There is a maximum of 12 people in each group, and the first session is free for new starters.  Each session will include warm up exercises, Qi Gong, and Tai Chi form exercise, which, if practised regularly, can improve muscle control and mobility, and also relieve stress and muscle tension.  Contact Phil Cole for more information on 01243 555102.

Tai Chi sessions are now also held on Monday evenings from 7.15 to 8.15pm.
