There is a dedicated indoor bike studio with new bikes. If anyone would like to come and have a look and see what Indoor Group Cycling involves I will be there after the class on Monday's at 2.45pm and I am happy to share the experience with anyone wanting to look before deciding if it's suitable for them. It is a cardio- and strength-based class, excellent for staying fit and healthy. Judith Boston Congleton Library East Cheshire is considering closing libraries for an additional 1.5 days a week in order to reduce the costs and so keep the libraries open throughout our region of Cheshire. Congleton Library will close on Fridays under this scheme. This closure will affect the u3a Poetry group who meet there on Fridays. Many of our members will have had an email from East Cheshire to this effect, with a questionnaire attached to give our views. The alternative to this scheme would be to close many of the smaller libraries in the region all together. LOCAL EVENTS Try Tennis For Free Do you want to try tennis for free? Well, then you can at Congleton LTC. We have two great opportunities – Saturday 1st July 10.00am-1.00pm and Sunday 2nd July 10.00am- 1.00pm. Balls and rackets can be provided.

Erudite, a consummate musician himself, these are amongst his favourite pieces as well as being those music choirs universally love too. This will be an extremely popular concert, so please do book your tickets while they are still available, from any choir member (including me, of course), the TIC or on-line at congletonchoralsociety.org.uk.
