New Activity Group: ZUMBA GOLD

You are invited to attend a TASTER session of a new group, ZUMBA GOLD

on THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 7th. at 2.00 pm at Berkswich Methodist Church Hall, Walton on the Hill. The session will last for one hour and the cost will be £1!

If there is enough interest, I plan to continue the class as a regular activity group for our members. The attendance fee will be £2.50 per session, to cover hire of the hall and cost of a qualified teacher from GROOVE ACADEMY, Stafford.

All the fun of Zumba but without the bouncing and twisting. You can still get a good workout in the class. Also perfect if you are new to exercise. 

Zumba Gold is perfect for

Active older adults who are looking for a modified Zumba®class that recreates the original moves you love at a lower-intensity.

How It Works

The design of the class introduces easy-to-follow Zumba®choreography that focuses on balance, range of motion and coordination. Come ready to sweat, and prepare to leave empowered and feeling strong.

Benefits

Class focuses on all elements of fitness: cardiovascular, muscular conditioning, flexibility and balance!

Outdoor Bowls 2016

 

‘ As Captain of the Phoenix A Crown green bowling team I would like to congratulate everyone in the team for their support and achievement of winning the second division trophy for the second time and congratulations to Phoenix D for a hard fought battle and becoming runners up.’
After 4 years of Captaincy I will be handing over to Mike Bosson for the 2017 season.  I am sure he will do a fine job of running the team but I will still be there to give him any support he needs.

Federation News: Janet Palmer

At the recent Federation meeting, Bill Basford, the Chairman, initiated a lively and constructive exchange of ideas and experiences from the representatives of the six Phoenix clubs which proved to be of interest to us all. He suggested that we should continue for two years in this manner under his leadership and then review the situation.

We will send club reports out every three months and this sharing of information about speakers and outings should prove invaluable. We are also encouraged to discuss any problems and seek advice with each other. Ann and I agreed to represent Walton Phoenix.

The next meeting will be in November, hosted by Holmcroft and will be the AGM.

The Christmas Celebration was discussed and it was agreed that Federation members be invited to attend our Christmas Band Concert on Friday 15th December 2016.
