NEW NIA CLASS IN CHARFIELD VILLAGE HALL

Nia classes provide the opportunity for holistic whole body fitness and cardiovascular conditioning.

It is an expressive movement programme that uses a variety of music styles to stimulate improvement in flexibility, agility, mobility, stability and strength.

A new class started in May this year and is held in Charfield Village Hall on Mondays at 11am.

Judy D is a new student and says

“I'm already feeling much fitter & really enjoying the combination of dance and Tai chi movements set to lovely music. Stress levels drop as you think only of the moves your body and mind are learning, new routines in a friendly non-judgemental environment.

Nia is good for all ages and fitness levels, as a low impact activity I find it is perfect for my 'worn-out' knees, keeping them working. The increase in core strength and stability is also a bonus.

It is also great fun and a wonderful start to the week.”

Classes are £6 drop in or £30 for 6 classes. Contact Nia teacher Teresa for more information on 01785 816396

Old ITV programme about the Charfield Railway Crash 1928

Locals sharing memories at the Railway Tavern Pub in Charfield. People interviewed: Mrs Hazel, then "Jibby' Jones, then Reginald Pagett.

Thanks to Graham Tyndall for sharing this with us.

"It was broadcast on ITV many years ago and they kindly sent me a video of the program.
My father is in the video talking about the lady in black and the children's shoes. He worked on the railway in Charfield as a Ganger and we lived in a cottage just below the Plough Inn.
When the cottages were demolished we moved to Charfield Green on the corner right next to the railway line."

More information about the disaster.
