We have just completed our sixth year of Friday afternoon Gentle Exercises, held at the Richardson Hall, Lawnswood Road, and each year the group has grown with a marked increase in membership of late.

We begin at 1.30 until 2.30 after which we have a social half hour with tea, coffee and biscuits served.

During the year outings have been arranged through our instructor and lunch dates have been very successful taking place mainly at The Court House, Kingswinford.

The Princes Trust students visited us four times over the year and took part in the exercises which were then followed by tea, coffee and cakes. Their visit was videoed and shown at their final presentation of certificates and citations.

In December the group took part in the Centre’s Christmas Bazaar and raised another record figure for Centre funds with a prize every time with soft toys and gifts table.

The Mount Pleasant, Kingswinford was the venue for the Christmas Lunch and 2014 ended with an afternoon tea party at the hall. The group is happy and informal and we look forward to a progressive 2015/16.

Admission is £2 with an annual membership of £2. During the week’s celebrations of 75 years of the Wordsley & District Community Association, June 8-13, we are looking forward to Friday June 12 when we have a free afternoon with a tea party, to also celebrate our 6th Birthday, and will be open to visitors.
