Hello everyone, hope everyone's had a nice week.

Our Nordic Pole Walking group strated last week and will run every Tuesday at 9:00am.
This is a member-led group, led by a group of 6 wonderful members who recently completed a technique session with Hannes to get everyone started on the right foot. A very limited number of poles are available at the Hub. If you have your own, please bring them along as they will be distributed on a first in basis, and priority will be to new people who have not been before.
This is a free activity and open to all members—no payments required. Just come along and enjoy walking together! You can register below:
