Caryford Hall

Update

Exciting news! Building work is underway and by late October, we will have a new kitchen, plant room, and cleaner’s store. The existing kitchen will become a temporary meeting room until we can fund the new one.
 

The contractor (F J Reeves) is leaning over backwards to fit in with our needs – such as quiet times during lectures – and knows that when the car park is full he will not be able to take delivery of materials.
 

We hope you will bear with us during the work. The main hall, existing kitchen and toilet facilities will all operate normally.  Any problems, please let us know.
 

Efforts to raise the funds for phase 2 (the new meeting room/ladies toilets) is underway. The Silver Jubilee Appeal continues – please donate if you can. Or, enter our Quiz, which runs until 1 st December and is available from the Hall or Bailey Hill Bookshop – prize £50!
 

Can you fundraise for us; please help in any way you can.
 

Are you new to Cary; do you have time on your hands; are you recently retired and would like a new challenge?  We are looking for a new Hon. Secretary to take minutes at our monthly meetings and to provide administrative support to our Chair; also a new Bookings Secretary to take over from Annette Bedford who is nearing the end of her term. Both are voluntary (unpaid) positions. Please get in touch if you are interested. We would love to hear from you.

Do you have to work up a sweat to get fit?

(BBC Trust Me I’m a Doctor)

In a recent programme, the Trust Me I'm a Doctor team found that even though it might not feel as difficult, doing a session of Tai Chi leads to similar increases in heart rate as moderate intensity exercise.
