New Beginner class at Appleton Parish Hall

We started a beginner class at Appleton this summer and found it to be very popular with the local community. From January I am making a new beginners class starting from 10 January at 2.45pm . Our previous class at 1.30pm will now be called next steps in Tai Chi. Developing more techniques and moves.

If you know of anyone who would like to start back gently exercising or who has made it a new years resolution, please mention the class.
