If you are interested please contact Brenda McKenzie on 0151 531 0207 or come to Group Support desk on 19th September.  I am on holiday next week so there will be no Group Support table at the coffee morning on 12th September.

You can email me at mnmck21@aol.com or text me on 07900525222.  This was announced at the coffee morning this morning and already 7 people are interested in the low impact Zumba, so that group looks like it will go ahead.

If you have any other ideas for a new group please contact me to discuss.
