On Yer Bike?
Sheffield Cycle Speedway Club deliver regular coaching and racing opportunities for young people at the cycling track at Graves Leisure centre. Many participants are from the Norton area and we are growing really quickly and are in need of more volunteers willing to coach the junior section.
We are looking for someone who is passionate about encouraging young people to get fit, have fun and make friends through sport. The club is willing to pay for some volunteers to attend a course to become a qualified cycling coach if they are willing to give up some of their time on Saturday mornings to coach the junior cycling club on our traffic free facility.
If you are interested please contact Robert Mace on 07888700355 or email robmace@britishcycling.org.uk or visit the junior cycling club activities at Graves Tennis & Leisure centre 10am - 12pm.

Chairobics!
Chairobics is seated exercise that encourages mobility and flexibility,
that is , increases the range of movement in joints and strengthens the
muscles by use. We do it to music that is upbeat and singalong so you can
exercise your vocal chords tool It need not be strenuous so is suitable
for ones that have not exercised for a while and know they need to start
somewhere, to those who are active but appreciate that they need to find
the full range of movement in their joints. Come and join us, sing if you
want, talk with others or just get on with it, we would love to see you.
Gentlemen are particularly welcome, the only cost
is your time and your humour please. St Pauls C&C every Thursday at 3.00 to 4.00.
Volunteers needed!
We've had a few committee members drop out due to moving, work pressures etc. So, we're actively seeking new volunteers to bring skills and / or enthusiasm to our committee. If you'd like to attend a meeting to see what we get up to, or have any queries please contact Nick.
