The Best Guide for the CR0 Area

GET ACTIVE THIS AUTUMN

Croydon Council's Active Lifestyle programme offers a great alternative to hibernating indoors with a range of courses to suit all tastes and abilities.

Providing the perfect opportunity to get fit and have fun at the same time, the Active Lifestyles programme, which has been running since 1998, kicks off again next month with a range of different classes. Regular courses include t'ai chi, legs, bums & tums, aerobics, golf, Latin dance, Pilates, beginners swimming and yoga.

The November/December programme will see the introduction of a new table tennis and street dance class at Monks Hills Sports Centre and free flat green bowling courses at Croydon Bowling Club. A wide range of fully qualified instructors are on hand to assist participants to either learn new skills or to just enjoy taking part.

Brochures are now available at local libraries or can be viewed online at www.croydononline.org Bookings are now being taken at Croydon Clocktower, by telephone, or at the reception desk. Classes will start the week commencing 5 November.

Councillor Steve Hollands, cabinet member for culture and sport said: "With winter approaching it is easy to just hibernate indoors but an activity class such as those on offer is a much more interesting and healthier alternative. The classes are fun, friendly and sociable, why not give it a try for yourselves?"
