By popular demand:- We have two new Fitness Classes runing in the Village. Both are excellent value, and are reasonably well-attended already. But the "rules" for this sort of activity are simple. They must be financially sustainable. Although the instructors charge very reasonable rates, and the halls are pretty cheap, they have to be self-funding. So in the words of somebody much cleverer than I, "USE THEM OR LOSE THEM"

Extend Classes aimed at Retirees
This excellent class takes place in the Memorial Hall starting at 9:00am on a Thursday. It is aimed at beginners. In particular it is designed to improve mobility, balance and co-ordination. In this way we can reduce the risk of falling as we get older - but you are not too young to start! It is all about maintaining strength and making fluid, controlled movements. And there are a great bunch of people who already go. Come and join us.
Keep Fit Classes aimed at improving our general level of fitness
This super class takes place on a Monday evening at 7:15pm in the Victoria Room. Again, a great bunch of villagers trying hard to improve their strength and aerobic fitness. Although very well attended, there is still plenty of room for more people to join. Just come along and see what goes on - I'm sure you will want to join in.
Don't forget - "USE THEM OR LOSE THEM"
Welcome to the Community Web Site for Ruyton XI Towns in Shropshire, UK.
Surely the Medieval Fair must be judged a HUGE success by all!
Nearly 2,000 people turned up - despite the weather. The Parade was even longer than we had estimated and the takings by all the traders exceeded their expectations. But best of all, everyone had a great time.
You can see lots of photos. Click Photos on the menu on the left to visit our own Gallery, or see the Radio Shropshire Gallery or Sabine's Super Photos.
Two new fitness classes have started in the Village - see below!
Or a gentle walk - HERE is a LINK to a walk of 3km towards the Drumbles,
or an even shorter walk to the South of our School HERE
I would particularly appreciate feed-back on whether this method of showing walks is helpful.
The village is having ELEVEN WALKS FOR ELEVEN TOWNS over the coming weeks. Each walk will take in one or more of the eleven towns and will be suitable for most able people.
Supervised children are welcome as are dogs under control. Please wear suitable clothing – strong shoes and maybe long trousers (nettles!).
The second walk will take in the township of Coton. It is described on the village website www.ruytonxitowns.org.uk
Trevor can be seen leading the way!
The first walk took place recently and was hailed as a great success by those participating. One dog – Jove - went on the walk with his owner, Avril Sanders Royle – local chiropractor. She says that Jove thought that “Despite the recent dreadful weather, the walkers were blessed with dry weather. Trevor took us on a lovely walk, using paths I had never been on before. Walking is an inexpensive exercise and very good for you. It was not strenuous and is suitable for most people. I, Jove, had a great time too, even though there were a few stiles which were quite difficult for me – being just a dog. I did have a problem with a cattle grid as the gate to the side of it was unable to be opened, but the other walkers came to the rescue and put down a pallet to enable me to get across. I hope that more people will come on the next walk with their dogs so that I won’t just have people to be with.” Here he is hoping some other friendly dogs (and their owners) will come with him next time - how can you refuse?
