Here you can find the Canterbury Branch diary of events for 2008/9.

 

Find an event that interests you and join us, or contact Lesley Flowerdew, Branch Secretary on 01227 456457 for more details.

 

Monthly Branch meetings:

Held on the 2nd Friday of the month, at the Age Concern Building, Castle Row, Canterbury, from 7.30pm to 9pm. See below for details.

 

We also hold:

  • Weekly Yoga and Hydrotherapy sessions
  • Monthly Reflexology sessions

 

Walks:
All our walks are accessible by wheelchair. It would be helpful but not essential to know beforehand if you are planning to come along, so the pub or tea shop can be given numbers. If you require a lift contact Beatrice on 01227 766782 or b.j.shire@kent.ac.uk a couple of days beforehand.

 

Any suggestions of venues for walks, good pubs or tea shops are very welcome! Whilst the exercise is an important part of the experience, a chance to chat and share ideas over food and drink, is just as important.
