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.
We have won grants to the value of £70,000 to be spent on Play Equipment for Dr's Meadow Field. Nearly 20 companies tendered for the supply and installation of the new equipment. A Selection Session was held in the Memorial Hall on Wednesday 18th November between 3:00pm and 6:30pm and the winning design was chosen by the dozens of Young Parishioners who came to "vote". The chosen equipment will be installed by April 2010.

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?
Nearly 2,000 visitors braved the dreadful weather and had a SUPER time.
Thanks to all the entertainers and re-enactors. They all got wet, but gave stunning performances.
Make sure you visit the Gallery and see the Photos.
And thanks to all the volunteers who made it all possible.
