This week we are featuring Martha who arrived at the SPCA with a litter of kittens.
"I am a lovely girl, although a little shy to start with, I warm up quickly once I know I am safe. I am looking for a loving home where I will get spoilt rotten. If you can offer me a wonderful life I would like to meet you. I seem to like the other cats I live with, and I really get on with Wendy, so if you were looking for a pair of cats, maybe you could consider both of us? We would do best in a quiet home, but once settled I will make a wonderful member of your family."

Come and try Spin Poi before Christmas

Playing with poi is a lot of fun! SpinPoi can be done sitting or standing and is suitable for almost everyone. Inspired by traditional poi, it has been adapted by Dr Kate Riegle van West to be a safe and effective exercise, especially for older populations. On top of the usual benefits of exercise, typically people will see improvements in grip strength, attention, focus, balance and coordination.

Karori Community Centre
Friday, 4 December, from 11.15 am to 12.00 pm
Price: $4

No need to book. Poi provided. Or there some new sets available for sale if you want your own personal set. The class is suitable for beginners to intermediate. It will be 45 minutes long and we cover:

o Welcome, safety reminders and warm up
o Practice of basic poi movements
o Playtime! 20-25 minutes of poi to music
o Cool down

Deb Gully has been leading seated exercise for seniors for more than 10 years and is now Wellington's first certified SpinPoi instructor. She has been taking Spin Poi classes on Zoom, and is thrilled to now be teaching live classes. For more information on SpinPoi, and to see video of people playing with poi, go to www.spinpoi.com...

If you're interested, but can't make it to any of these, email Deb on deb@frot.co.nz or call 04 934 6366 for information on classes in other areas.
