Gladiators we are not!!!

In late 2002, the Monday group decided that they needed a change and a new challenge. The group headed down to the local leisure centre and took up the chance to take part in an exercise course.

As time has gone by it has been noted that some of the members are getting the best out of the exercise and have improved considerably.

Also down at the lesiure centre, some of the group have taken the opportunity to try rock climbing, which has proven to have been a great success, watch out Chris Bonnington we are up Everest next!!

Music and dance

The Friday group have been involved in music and dance sessions.

These sessions have seen them perform in places has diverse as Greenfield College and at the Christmas party and the Pioneering Care Centre.

The group have really enjoyed themselves and it is nice to see, (and hear), how they have improved over the months.

However all good things come to an end (just for now), as new challenges await them.

The group are to start shortly going back to music and dance in preperation for our Christmas panto - with the Options twist of course!!

Details late in the year, but make sure that if you are free on the night you come along to be really entertained.

Passport to health

As mentioned in the previous story, the Friday group have been taken up new challenges, this time to deal with health and keeping fit!

It is an eight week course covering;

Cooking
Basic first aid
Gentle exercise
Relaxation and a
Complementary therapy session

The last sessions see's them trying their hands, arms and legs as they experience Tai Chi for the first time.

The Wednesday group have already done this course and got a lot from it, it seems the Friday group are going the same way.
