🍃Come along to Tai Chi in the Town Hall! 🍃

Studies show that Tai Chi significantly reduces the risk of falls in older adults - it also reduces stress, eases pain and lowers blood pressure. It's easy to learn and suitable for anyone!

🕞 3.30pm-4.30pm
📍Upper Hall - New Galloway Town Hall
💷 £3.50 per session

Did you know that the tea bag was accidentally invented in America in 1908? ☕

A New York tea merchant used small, silk bags to send samples to his customers, and they mistakenly used the bags to steep their tea in the pot instead of emptying them out. Us Brits were naturally suspicious and material shortages due to WW2 meant that tea bags didn't take off in the UK until the 1950s.

Come along to our Monday Morning Men's Coffee, where you will also find lots of tea! 😁

📅 Every Monday
🕙 9.30am-11am
📍 Lower Hall - New Galloway Town Hall

King Charles II tried to order the closure of coffee shops in England in 1675 as he thought that coffee would provoke sedition and treasonous plotting. He later withdrew the ban two days before it came into effect!

There's no treasonous plotting at our men's Monday Coffee Morning thankfully, just hot drinks and good conversation! ☕
