A big thank you to everyone who donated food during our Community Fitness Week as part of the fitness for food campaign. This was the first time there has ever been a National Community Fitness week. This years campaign was called “fitness for food”. Fitness Instructors from all over the UK were taking part whereby every class goer, new or regular was asked to bring a non-perishable item of food to their class. The instructors then donated all the food to their local food bank. Here at Fitness Vibe we have donated our food to the Hull Food Bank which belongs to the Trussell group and we have also donated to the local Cottingham Food Bank.
Thank you so much for your kind donations in supporting this worthwhile cause. You will be pleased to hear that 381 Food Banks were supported and 125,000 meals were provided as a result of the efforts of community fitness classes throughout the UK. Well done to the Community Fitness Network who are responsible for organsing the campaign.
On Monday 11th November our Fitness Gold Monday morning keep fit class held their annual Macmillan Coffee Morning at the Chuch of Asension, Calvert Road. The morning started off with guest instructor Sandra from Sahara Dance Company delivering a Belly Dance Session. It was great fun and we all learned some new skills!! Sandra was a fabulous Belly Dance Instructor with 15 years experience and made the session so much fun.
The session was followed by coffee and cakes which were yummy! It was wonderful to have a demonstration from Sandra in her authentic costumes, she then gave a talk on the origins of belly dancing which was really interesting.
Class member Ray did us proud once again when he organised the raffle for us. As usual the raffle was as great as ever and lots of us were lucky to win some fabulous prizes donated by local business owners.
We were joined by Tracy Hammond who also runs keep fit classes in the hall. Special thanks to Tracy’s class members who helped with the tea and coffee preparation.
For those of you who would like to join our lovely keep fit class we meet every Monday morning 11.00am – 11.45am at the Church Of Asension, Calvert Road. Its a traditional easy to follow keep fit class with a seated section at the end. A really lovely social class where you will be made to feel most welcome!
You will be pleased to hear we managed to raise £220 or the Macmillan charity on the day. Well done everyone and thank you x
“Oh what a night!” Seventy Zumba Gold ladies from Cottingham had a fabulous social evening on Friday 8th November.
The evening started with a glass of fizz and a pre-theatre meal at Pascos restaurant in Cottingham. We then made our way to the Civic Hall, Cottingham for drinks and to be entertained by the fabulous Frankie Valley tribute act “Walk Like A Man”.
The lovely young men from “Walk Like A Man” kindly came to visit us at the restaurant to introduce themselves to us. The show was fabulous, we all danced the night away having a brilliant time together.
I would highly recommend going to see this tribute band, you will have a wonderful night. They are due to return to Cottingham again next year and we will definitely be organising the evening again. Not to be missed!
Community Fitness Week is a brand new initiative which we are getting involved in. It’s part of a national compaign to raise the awareness and use of fitness in community venues across the UK.
Community fitness instructors from all regions are signing up to the week, with the campaign for this year named “fitness for food”. Fitness instructors will run their regular classes with an emphasis on encouraging new participants to attend and try something new. Every class goer, new or regular, will be asked to bring a non-perishable item of food to their class as well, which the instructor will deliver to a local food bank.
With 1000 instructors expected to sign up, the fitness for food drive is set to make a huge positive impact on local communities.
I am asking all Fitness Vibe class members to get behind this campaign and bring an item of non-perishable food to class week beginning Monday November 4th.
Thank you so much x
