Well yesterday afternoon was very enjoyable. We may be small in number but we fair put the world to rights. Janet was our star of the fun BBC High street quiz that Susan found for us. Go Janet! x

Some photos from the groups visit to The Huntarian Art Gallery. A great visit and I personally feel it would be worth another visit with family.

Today was our first session of Qigong with Robin Wagg.
I say the first but he did some classes a couple of years ago.
Personally this was an amazing session and I cannot wait until the 18th of February til our next one.
I found this class very enjoyable and it had some challenges for me, particularly in slowing down some familiar moves from my karate days. Today was everyone participating on chairs but the next session will be up to the individuals.
I felt energised and even broke sweat, and felt a sense of achievement. My shoulders and arms feel like they have had a work out. Thanks Gavin for inviting Robin along again. A huge thanks Wagg.

Part of my Discovery Award focuses on my hobbies. I am a founding member of the Garnock Valley Community Concert Band. May 2026 we celebrate 15 years since the band began and since the break during covid we have gone from Gold Plus award Standard to Platinum Award in both Scottish Concert Band Festival 2025 and National Concert Band Festival 2023, 2034 and 2025. Having a pastime that allows for growth and progression helps. The Discovery Award lets you use the things you love to do in your spare time. Whether it’s rehearsing or working on the running committee of a group to go towards your award.
