September saw the launch of the Over 55’s club at Arrow Vale after school on a Monday. Various different classes and activities are put on such as carpet bowls, badminton, yoga, salsa and an ‘IT for beginners’ class. Also, guests are able to have access to the fitness suite accompanied by a fitness instructor to help rebuild fitness as many of the people coming to the club have suffered long term illnesses which has limited their ability to move. After participating in the classes, refreshments are provided in the Olympus Cafe.

The scheme has proved extremely popular and is growing each week with more and more people attending. We are currently in talks to add another session on a Friday at the same time.
