Sometimes it is difficult to keep up on top of all the events and activities we do and we have certainly found it a challenge to upload and update websites every time things happen! Anyway, we are working to keep most recent and up to date info online, check out the Gallery page
Incidentally, Master Swift’s Facebook page is very consistent with videos and photos as everyone tends to tag him in on theirs!!! Be sure to check it out and of course come back soon
Thank you for your continual support

The truth is everyone is different but in the way of joint protection there are a number of elements to consider.

For many Autumn is the most alluring of seasons. Crisp skies and fresh golden sunlit mornings; rusty crimson foliage dying on the branches; bonfires, smell of cooking sweet chest nuts, long shadows and early draw in evenings!
The cold dark mornings make that early run just that little bit harder; the warm snug of the local pub and fire place make it just too easy to have that quick pint or two on an evening rather than hitting the gym or prep’ing for classes
