New Member Group
Jam Session Wednesday 9th, 2.30-4pm
If you play a musical instrument and enjoy making music with other people, why not consider joining a new hub member-led activity group? Jamming is a spontaneous and fun way to create music with other people without the pressure of trying to play a set piece of music perfectly. We know that some members can play the UKelele and guitar but all instruments are welcome. Percussion instruments always add a bit of oomph to a jam session or you might even play the harmonica.
If you are interested please speak to Hub member Gerard Siero or let us know at the front office.

It's also a fun and social afternoon with your fellow Hub Members.

We are excited to launch our newest program for 2025 - Stay on Your Feet, designed to equip you with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to reduce your risk of falling. This program will include three informative workshops and three balance and strength classes. Stay on your feet is a 6-week fall prevention course that covers a number of factors related to falls.
Falls are one of the leading causes of injury among older adults, but the good news is—they are preventable!
Workshops will include balance and strength classes with Hannes, in addition to talks by optometrists, Injury Matters and podiatrists.
