Walking Football
The slower version of the beautiful game

Walking football has become increasingly popular. It’s exactly what it sounds like – a standard game of football (played on a small size pitch) where players walk instead of run. It's designed to help people get fit or maintain an active lifestyle no matter what their age and fitness, as well as support people getting back into football if they have given it up due to age or injury.

Older people who play have seen many benefits: lower heart rate and blood pressure, less fat and more muscle, and better mobility.

And it’s not just health benefits - walking football also offers social benefits. Participants can meet new people, avoid becoming isolated, and interact with individuals and small groups.

This is one sporting activity that is suitable for all. Beginners always welcome

Join us Tuesday nights at 6pm in the Green Room at The Hub Toitu Poneke, Kilbirnie Crescent (Entrance at the north end of the building)

Bean bag beans.

Carol from Brooklyn

We have three ripped outdoor bean bags with beans in, + a plastic container filled with beans. The beans have been used but are still in good condition. The challenge is to transfer them to another bag - if you can do this and take them away they are yours.

2019 has well and truly begun, have you been sticking to your new year’s resolutions? Here are our top 5 quick cleaning resolutions that you can easily stick with, and will keep your home clean and decluttered this year.

→ Make your bed everyday.

→ Practice a ‘power five’ clutter bust for five minutes each night before dinner. Grab items that aren't where they belong and put them away.

→ Put your worn clothes away rather than on your "clothes chair.’

→ Clear kitchen counters of clutter every evening.

→ Empty the dishwasher every morning.
