Celebrate Matariki with Spin Poi! All welcome.
Playing with poi is a lot of fun! Spin Poi can be done sitting or standing and is suitable for almost everyone. Inspired by traditional poi, it has been adapted 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.
No need to book. Poi provided. Suitable for beginners to intermediate. The class is 45 minutes long and we cover:
o Welcome, safety reminders & warm up
o Practice poi movements
o Playtime! Usually we have a variety of music but this week it's Matariki themed.
o Cool down
THIS WEEK'S TIMETABLE:
o Tuesday, 5pm, Kilbirnie Community Centre - $5
o Wednesday, 2pm, on Zoom - $5
o Thursday, 11am, Strathmore Park Community Centre - usually $2 but FOC this week

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
