1st Tuesday: Open Evening and Sale of Vitamins (discounted prices). There will still be a planned discussion for those who want it, and the opportunity to chat informally while doing the `proggy mat' and all other craft activities are welcome. So please bring your sewing, knitting, embroidery, tapestry or quilting along for a creative evening.

2nd Tuesday: Gentle Yoga and Relaxation with Sheila Anderson. This is very gentle yoga with the emphasis on breathing and relaxation. It can be done sitting in a chair, if necessary. Bring a yoga mat if you have one, we have some spares at the group. Bring a cushion and a blanket for the relaxation if you will be lying on the floor.

3rd Tuesday: Speaker's Night: See list of speakers below.

Last Tuesday: Sheila Anderson will be giving a meditation or a relaxation session.

If the month as a 5th Tuesday, it will be used for meditation and the 4th Tuesday will be used for an additional speaker or activity.

Please Note:

There will be no meetings on Tuesday 25th December 2012 or 1st January 2013

Every Tuesday evening there is at least one complementary therapist on duty.

Our library is open, for browsing and borrowing books, every Tuesday evening until 9.30pm.

On the first Tuesday of every month, vitamin and mineral supplements are on sale to members, at discounted prices, from 7pm to 7.30pm. Cheques only please; no cash.
