Our New Year fitness and wellbeing course, run in conjunction with the Plymouth Argyle Community Trust, has proved to be a big hit with our Artemis cohort. We’ve already been given some expert tips on diet and portion control as well as taking part in some gentle exercise including tennis and walking – with some valuable instruction on how to incorporate housework into your fitness routine. We hope to run another course with Argyle, for a mixed cohort, later in the year.

We’re taking applications now for our next, 10-step, soil-to-supper course which will be held, once again, in the historic walled garden on the Dartington Estate near Totnes. Last year’s course was one of the most successful we’ve run with the cohort reporting that, as well as having a great time, learning new skills and making new friends it helped improve confidence, decision-making and problem-solving skills. The next course will start on Wednesday 16^th March and run each Wednesday to Weds 25^th May (with a week off for Easter on Weds 20^th April). If you’d like to take part please contact Bernard on [email protected].

A WALK ON THE WET SIDE

It was a damp start to 2022 for our first walk on Dartmoor with our friends at Random Badger – but a great turnout (of veterans and dogs) nonetheless. The walk culminated with tea and chips in the Fox Tor Cafe in Princetown. Our next walk is scheduled for Thursday 17th Feb. We can’t promise better weather but there will be team spirit, tea and almost certainly chips in abundance.  If you want to join us drop an email to Bernard at [email protected]
