"chair-based exercise" to music, ably led by Pam. The activity was very well received and everyone said they really had fun doing it. The final section of the hour-long activity included a potted version of the Paso Doblé, which got people on their feet where appropriate, and elicited a collective and joyful shout of ‘Ole’ at the end! Well done and thanks to Pam!
Everyone completed an evaluation of the activity, with loads of positive feedback. Benefits noted included “getting out, meeting people”; “extended my range of movement”; “enjoyed the atmosphere and social side”; and people felt “energised, refreshed and loosened up”.
There was also time to sit and chat over a cup of tea, and have a lovely hand massage from Jo. This part of the activity was appreciated just as much as the exercise. In fact, some people come along to the club for the social interaction as much as for the activity, as they feel a bit isolated.
Some folk were able to stay on for lunch afterward, which provided a further opportunity to chat and make new friends. (We can definitely recommend Jim’s home-made soup!)
The team are delighted at the response to this new event, and further taster sessions are being organised to meet the needs of the group.
The club meets again on 11th and 25th February, 10.15am – 12.15pm, Newton Stewart Golf Club. Contact us for more details. 01988501111
