New Activities at the 'Y'

Hikarikan Aikido at Romford YMCA is held on Sunday afternoons from 3-5pm with Rob Jackson, 3rd Dan British Aikido Association. Beginners to advanced students aged 16+ are welcome. Improve your fitness, confidence and concentration with this fascinating and defensive martial art. This is not a YMCA activity class, fees are paid directly to Rob, who offers the first lesson free, and a discount for YMCA members and residents.

The Romford YMCA Karate Club is held on Saturday afternoons between 4.30-6.00pm and Tuesday evenings between 8pm-9.30pm with Mr. Peter Night. All standards are welcome from beginner to advanced student. We also welcome men, women and children of all ages. Learn how to defend yourself, improve fitness and gain self confidence.

A Life Club has started at Romford YMCA on Tuesday evenings from 7.30-9.00pm run by Susan Savery. This is a weekly class with a different theme each week, where you will enjoy learning about yourself, how to increase your confidence and think differently about your life. For further information and session fees please contact Susan on 07708 374675 or visit www.lifeclubs.co.uk) People who attend Life Clubs change their lives – they discover what they really want out of life and begin to achieve it.

Breast Cancer Campaign’s Pink Day

Friday 26th October is the Breast Cancer Campaign’s Pink Day and everyone is encouraged to wear something pink and make a £2 donation to the charity.

Here at Romford YMCA we are holding a pink long week-end.

Friday 26th , Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th October will all be Pink Days. On these days people will be encouraged to wear something pink and we will be adding £2 extra to all our group fitness classes over these days, which will go to the charity.
We will also be having ‘Wear it Pink’ Donation boxes around so that people participating in other activities can make a voluntary contribution.

Pink Ribbons will also be on sale.

Please make an effort to join us on one of these days and show your support for this wonderful charity.
Remember breast cancer affects 40,000 women a year in Britain, let’s beat it together.
Many thanks
Roy Nixon...Group fitness manager.
