Salsa
Want to lift your spirits, get fit and have some fun as the long winter evenings draw in? Come to the NEW salsa classes every Thursday at Kelsall Primary School, Flat Lane, from 8.30 to 9.30pm, starting Thursday 3rd November. All are welcome - that means men as well as women and even men who think they have two left feet! Taught by Mike Mitchell from Chester's leading salsa school, Funky Salsa. A warm, welcoming atmosphere awaits you and laughter is guaranteed!
We really want to encourage lots of men to the classes, so we're offering guys FREE lessons for the month of November when we launch. Ladies - it's £5 per class for you! We hope this will be an ongoing class in Kelsall and we're very excited about it! If there is sufficient demand, we will be launching improvers' salsa to follow on from beginners' salsa.

Scottish Dancing Group
Scottish Dancing tuition and social dancing takes place for two hours on a
Wednesday evening from 8pm in the Community Centre, from September to May, under the excellent
local tutelage of Sue Duckett of Kelsall. There is no age limit so long as you are willing to
have a good time and have abundant enthusiasm. You don't have to bring a partner. There is no
strict dress code, but light shoes are a distinct advantage. The object is to enjoy yourself,
to keep fit and keep healthy, and to share in the invigorating rhythms of the music.
So if you feel you want to know more, please contact Ian Dingwell (01829-751975), Val Armstrong
(01829-751867) or Rosie Humphreys (01829-752784) for more information, or come along on for a
taster.
St Philips Walking Group
St Philips Walking Group started way back in 1998 when a few people, led by George Wilson, the then parish lay reader, decided to introduce social walks, about once a month in the summer only. This has been maintained and expanded ever since, and in October 2005 the group celebrated its 50th walk. The group has visited many different places, both near Kelsall and further afield, including Snowdonia and Derbyshire. The average number on each walk has now grown into double figures. The pre-Christmas walk is particularly popular.The walks range from easy to moderate, nothing significantly strenuous for a reasonably fit person, and very healthy too! The group hasn't lost anyone yet! Anyone is welcome - please contact Brian Rischmiller on 01829-760548 if you are interested.
