Pilates has started again and we have 2 classes running at 10.30 am and 11.30 am in the Armagh City Hotel gym.
If your new year resolution is to get fitter then the good news is that there are a small number of places available in the later group.
It will cost between £20/25/month depending on the numbers. Classes are run by the in-house instructor Lldy who has a great reputation. If you are keen then let me know ASAP.
Sorry to report that there has been insufficient interest in the Aqua Aerobic classes to make them cost-effective at this time. I will periodically ask again to see if the situation changes so stay tuned.
The local history group classes have resumed and are being held in the:-
O Fiaich Library on the third Thursday of each month at 11.30 am.
The choir will be starting again next Thursday, 6th October.

The Hill Walking Group started in 2011 when Armagh u3a was first set up. Our walks are varied—-in forest parks, in the hills & mountains & along country roads.
We meet weekly on Thursdays.
Walks are usually 2-4hours.
Members of the group plan and decide on the next walk at the end of each walk. The leader of the walk then posts information to the WhatsApp Group.
Hiking carries risks and participation in hiking or walking activities can result in injury. It is the responsibility of each walker to ensure he/she has the experience and fitness for any walks they undertake; sturdy footwear and waterproof clothing are essential. Denim jeans are not suitable.
Car Sharing can be arranged between members who are happy & comfortable to share & drive. Final decision is with the driver on the day.
All communication for the u3a hill walking group is by WhatsApp
