A Mix of Two Ancient Cultures<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Well, well, well \u2026 following last month\u2019s successful Tai Chi session, Tony, one of the elders, asked if he could bring something to the table which he had learnt while on active service in the Far East (Newport Road to be exact). He said this would involve a mix of two ancient cultures and bring warmth and energy to our lives. As a group we encourage folk to bring enlightenment to the fore. But first, our gang master had us cleaning debris from the old part of Walston Road and team member Mr Guest arranged for the Vale to supply a road sweeper to tidy up after we had finished.<\/p>\n

When all this was finished, we waited in anticipation for Tony to enlighten us. Right on cue a moped arrived with a large case on the back. The driver then handed out foil cartons of Thai and Chinese. We were surprised, but grateful for Tony\u2019s interpretation of wellbeing.<\/p>\n

Our meeting on 13th April will be at the village green and will end with Mrs Phyllis Crump giving a taster session on line dancing, which will be a roaring success with this bunch of cowboys!<\/p>\n
