Weve started a tenants and residents association at Campsall Field Road Community Centre and we want YOU to come along and join us. We hold a weekly social evening on Wednesdays from 7.30pm to 9pm. Come along for a chat, a cuppa and a game of bingo. Or come along and share your ideas with us. Things we can do include holiday activities, family fun days, day trips and community clean up days.

BINGO NIGHT

Wath residents are proving that age is no barrier to exercise after taking part in their first Armchair Aerobics session. The exercise class, organised by Newhill Tenants and Residents Association (TARA) with support from 2010 Rotherham, was held at Campsall Field Close community centre, Wath-upon-Dearne. Members of the TARA decided to introduce the classes following interest from local residents.
Armchair Aerobics sessions encourage limited mobility and exercise from a sitting position, ensuring that anyone can participate. Most of the exercises are chair based, working on the joints, mobility, posture and stretch. The exercise session was followed by a stew and dumpling supper. A raffle was also held, with lucky local residents Rita and Ernest Fletcher scooping first prize of a hamper, donated by 2010 Rotherham.
Margaret Alderson, secretary of Newhill TARA, said: “The first Armchair Aerobics event was a great success, everyone really enjoyed themselves and further sessions are now set to take place in the near future. The sessions not only help to improve the health and well-being of residents, they are also an opportunity for members of the community to get together.”
Why not have a taster of armchair aerobics yourself and come to the workshop taster at our open day at Springwell Gardens Community on Saturday 27th June 2009. More details.
