The Body Mind Collective team would love to invite you to our very first Community Picnic on Saturday 22 August, in Dartmouth Park, West Bromwich. Join us from 11.30am for free Yoga, Tai Chi and Line Dancing taster sessions, then stay for a relaxed picnic. Body Mind Collective will bring some refreshments, but please bring something with you to share. We'll meet by the bandstand at 11.30am and settle down for our picnic at about 12.30pm. Bryony will bring some games, PJ will bring the playlist! Whether you already attend our sessions or you're curious about trying something new, we'd love to welcome you along. This event is for families and children too! This event is free, but we ask that you book so we can get an idea of numbers for refreshments. In the case of bad weather, alternative arrangements will be made and you will be contacted closer to the time. What to bring: a chair or blanket to sit on, and some food to share What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move around in

Our group enjoyed a very hot day in Weston Super Mare today.
After Fish & Chips. Ice creams and a few drinks We’re heading home.
Some dipped there toes in the marina water. Some raced across the hot sand. Enjoyed a stroll along the Grand Pier playing to enjoy the deck chairs at the end. And played a few 2p arcade machines. We even caught up with other members who were on holiday there. X

Park Walk Cancelled Tomorrow ☀️

With the hot weather that's been forecast for tomorrow, we've decided to cancel our park walk. We know many of you look forward to getting together, but we'd rather play it safe and make sure everyone stays well and comfortable in the heat.

Please take care, keep cool, and drink plenty of water. We look forward to seeing you all at our next walk soon! Thank you for your understanding.
