You may be interested to know how our air handling system works. It is very efficient and it does not recyle the air. It draws in fresh air as described here. This is an important point for your safety in these times.
We have set up two sets of gym equipment in the TG room, spaced out sufficiently so that two individuals or households can use them at one time. A risk assessment has been done and strict hygiene guidelines apply, such as:
We plan to follow the Community Centre timetable so there will be three circuits sessions and two Line dancing sessions per week:
We are now doing two circuits sessions a week via Zoom (Wednesday and Sunday mornings) and one in the main hall (Thursday evening – 6.30-7.30pm). Instructions and invitations to this week’s Zoom classes can be found below. Simply click the link between a few minutes before the class starts to join it.
Thursday class. Due to popular demand this is back to 6.30-7.30pm for now. Once football restarts we will have to revert to 7pm, but we don’t know when that will be. Everybody who books and pays for this class through our website bookings page here, is entitled to a YouTube version of a class free of charge (the YouTube class must be done between 6 and 8pm on the Thursday). If you want the link to this session, you will need to email comms@charlburycommunitycentre.org.uk once you have booked onto the class and the link will be emailed back to you. This on line offer is a trial through September to see how numbers build.
Why not have a go at Line Dancing? It’s good for the body and the mind! There are two classes a week. Both classes are in the sports hall again. Tuesday’s class at noon – this is for regulars who have been Line dancing for some time. Fridays at 2pm is a class aimed at people who are relatively new to line dancing. Feel free to email Jason with questions and requests of dances you’d like to go over again: jason@charlburycommunitycentre.org.uk. The cost is £3 per class for over 65s and £5 for young people! Please pay for your class at reception on arrival, preferably by contactless card.
For those who are coming to the classes and would like to pratise the dances, here is a link to YouTube videos of Jason teaching them: Jason’s line dancing catalogue
And here are link to some training for the dances we have done recently “Islands in the Stream”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbr9Lr5HzNw “King of the Road” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kVRIdATLCw “After Midnight”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDihIfXNvb8 “Kelly’s Cannibals”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSuVlaGGsTU
You will need to download “Zoom” onto your computer/tablet/phone to see the session. This is really easy and takes about 1 minute. You can do this before by signing up to Zoom clicking on the link https://zoom.us/pricing (it’s free) or alternatively, simply click on the invite and follow the instructions, just before you want to join the session. You will need dumbbells, weights of water filled bottles and a mat.
