Our regular Monday morning Exercise group is still going strong.

Even on these cold mornings we all benefit from starting the day with some exercise.
​
Our wonderful “Music Man” Mel, has retired for the time being, due to ill health.  We thank him for his patience and all his efforts, so far.  Much appreciated Mel!

We are so lucky that Lin Ryan has kindly volunteered to be the “Music Maker” in his place, for the time being.  Thank you Lin!

A few of our Class participants have left us for warmer climates over the Winter months, even though they may encounter COVID  19 restrictions.  We wish them safe travels.
​
We are still required to sign in at the entrance door, and to also tick off our name on the U3a Attendance Roll, every day we attend.

Keep safe.  Have fun.

Our Exercises for Fun group have now returned to the Seniors Hall, after holding our classes for the months of February and March in the local Town Hall, while the Seniors Hall was being freshly painted.

It is encouraging to see good attendances, as everybody is keen to become a little more active, and improve their fitness, whilst in the friendly atmosphere of the Exercise Class.

See you Monday, 9.30am.  
​  
Have fun.

For the last 9 weeks we have held our Exercise classes in the Benalla Town Hall, but from Monday 5th April (Easter Monday) we will be back holding our classes in the Seniors Community Centre's Hall.

We have had very good attendances, with 40 plus people attending every week, and it is very satisfying to know that so many of us are enthusiastic to become a little more active and improve fitness, whilst enjoying each other’s company.

See you Monday 9.30am.   Have fun.

Benalla Council has offered U3A the use of the Town Hall, for the Exercise Group, for all the weeks of February and March, while the Seniors’ Hall is being sorted out.

We have taken up their generous offer, and find it is very pleasing to see so many of us able to exercise again in a group, after being in lockdown for almost a year.

We meet every Monday (at the Town Hall during March), starting at 9.30am. 

Looking forward to seeing you all there.

Have fun,

Fantastic News!

With COVID-19 restrictions eased, we are looking forward to resuming our Class again.
We are meeting in the Town Hall Benalla on 1st February and 8th February, then back at the Senior Citizens Hall when the renovations are finished, hopefully on 15th February.   We will keep you informed.

Please remember to sign in at the door before entering the hall.   Please wear suitable footwear. -  no sandals.

There will be no tea or coffee available.   Please wear your name tags.

See you there, 9.30am Mondays.

Have fun.

Wow! What a year it has been, due to COVID 19!    

Hopefully you have all been able to do some kind of exercise over this period, and hopefully (like me) you are looking forward to the time when we can meet again to resume our exercise regime.    

​Meantime, Mel & I wish you all a wonderful Christmas Season with family & friends, and with a bit of luck, we will see you all once again, in the New Year, when we can get fit together.

Best Christmas Wishes.

This Pandemic has certainly shut down our Exercise Group with no hint of when we can resume.

I hope you are all getting some kind of exercise while we are in isolation.    Maybe walking round the neighbourhood, admiring the winter gardens, or walking around the Lake, Even doing some bike riding!  Some of us may have created our own Indoor Exercise Regime.

Whatever has been happening in your house, I hope you are all coping, and like me, looking forward to the day when we can resume our Exercise Class again.

Stay safe, and hoping we can re-open and meet again soon.

​Hope you are all getting some exercise whilst in isolation.  

Mel and I have been researching how we can all keep in contact without breaking any rules, in these unusual times. 

Presently, we are working on a programme that could possibly connect us all to our Exercise Class, through the Internet.  It involves you downloading a free app called “Zoom cloud” on your mobile phone, or your tablet, iPad or laptop at home. 

If we can get the programme to run successfully, we will let you know more.  In the meantime, stay safe.

What a wonderful group of people we have attending the Exercise class.   We have many new faces, and it’s very encouraging to see everyone so enthusiastic to become a little more active and improve their fitness.   Keep up the good work.

Exercising does not stop for Labor Day.    It will be held as usual in the Seniors Hall.   See you Mondays 9.30am in Seniors hall.     Have fun!

Our last Class for this year was celebrated in the Seniors hall, with everyone bringing a small plate to share, after our Exercises.
 
A big “thank you” went to all participants for making this Class so successful and enjoyable.   It was so encouraging to hear that everyone appreciated the friendly atmosphere of the Exercise Class.   
 
May you all have a Happy Christmas and New Year, and we hope to see you all back again next year.
 
Meantime, have fun!
