Southern Water Alkham Valley IRP The village green and football field flooding appears to have stabilised but Southern Water continue to pump out the sewage system 24hr a day. They have reported that a survey will be carried out to assess where the flood water is leaking into the sewers.
We carry on a tradition started by the lovely local Susannah Tapsell. We all know that growing older is not for sissies. And we know the best thing we can do is to keep moving. Keep Fit is basically a 25 minute gentle but thorough stretching warm up followed by 12 minutes of chair yoga and 15 minutes of low impact, light cardio all set to popular music. It still gives you a good workout but is ideal for people recovering from a light injury or those getting less able due to age. We do recommend that you always follow your doctor or therapists advice and only join in the exercises that suit your body. We end with a tea and chat as we cool down. So it’s very sociable…
This group meets during the warmer months, April to September, to provide social contact between those villagers who have a particular interest in gardening. An evening meeting is held on the fourth Friday of each month. These gatherings are hosted by a different member each month so that members can enjoy seeing the progress in each other’s gardens. We are also making an effort to augment this programme with an occasional bus trip to visit outstanding public gardens in the SE. The contact person is: Sue Koo The Old Dairy Slip Lane, Alkham suekoo25@gmail.com 07454021992
