Closure Of The Leisure Group

 

It is with sadness that this coming month will see the closure of Leisure Group. The club has been running for over 40 years and was originally for both men and women over 60. Over the years it gradually be-came ladies only and of any age. Meeting every week, it was not always possible to have a speaker, but there was always some sort of entertainment.

Over the last few years, we have sadly lost many of our members, and despite our efforts we have failed to encourage new members to join. This together with being unable to appoint new committee members to continue the running of the club, has forced us into the decision to cease our meetings.

Our Easter party, on April 17th is our last meeting, when we say our last goodbyes to Leisure Group.

CarersWalk

CARERS WALK

Valeways are offering a new lead walk from April.
The walk is offered to carers of all ages and their
friends and families.
Carers Trust Wales have calculated that there are at
least 370,000 carers in Wales, which is more than
the population of Cardiff. The Carers Trust Wales
believes that 3 in 5 of us will become a carer at
some point in our lives.
The Carers walk will be a gentle stroll which will
offer Carers a chance to exercise, meet people and
enjoy fresh air. Hopefully the walks will support
carers to live happy and fulfilling lives for themselves,
and give them renewed energy for their role
as a carer.
If you are interested in joining this group, the walk
will take place on the last Thursday of every month
at 10:30am. We will meet outside Barry Island train
station and the walk will last between 45 to 60
minutes. If you want any more details, contact
Lynne 07729991491.

 

 

Pilates has come to Wenvoe!!

 

Pilates has come to Wenvoe!!

Now if you haven’t got a clue what Pilates is (and don’t worry you won’t be the only one); read on!

Pilates is a form of low-impact exercise that aims to strengthen muscles while improving postural alignment and flexibility. Pilates moves tend to target the core, although the exercises work other areas of your body as well. “It strengthens and stabilizes your core body, which is your foundation, so that you can move efficiently while improving your posture, flexibility, and mobility.” Kath Sweeney Pilates has been running for nearly 5 years now and she holds classes across the Vale and Cardiff including Cardiff’s 5* Saint David’s Hotel & Spa. Pilates is a great accompaniment to most sports – golf, running, cycling and horse riding. For example golfers with bad posture lack the ability to move with fluidity; runners generally have tight hamstrings and hip flexors; for cyclists – core stability plus hip flexibility is integral to producing power on the bike; and horse riders, muscles around your pelvis and hip joints can go into low-grade spasm as a protective mechanism. Pilates aim is to lengthen tight muscles and strengthen weak ones! Which will in turn improve posture. Through breathing techniques we work the core muscles in each exercise and aim to improve flexibility, balance and create a connection between mind and body! The plank is a common Pilates exercise but there are so many more! Kath Sweeney Pilates runs every Thursday 8-9pm in Wenvoe Village Hall; £5. Suitable for all abilities so don’t worry if you haven’t a clue what to do, we’ve all been there!!

Feel free to come along mats supplied! Or you can contact Kath on 07738957638 or have a look on Facebook:
