FORMER Town Mayor John Saull attended a sports taster session for older people organised by Mid Sussex District Council last month to celebrate the Olympic Games.

The events, both physical and cultural, were designed to encourage them to keep fit and healthy, and included Tai Chi, Line Dancing, Bones and Balance Exercise, Short Mat Bowls, Flower Arranging and Bingo, as well as an innovative exercise bike which could produce smoothies.

Information about all aspects of maintaining happy healthy independent living were available from Age UK and stall holders included Wiltshire Foods, U3A, ITs Simple, Action for Deafness, the Carers Association, Mears, Princess Royal Hospital’s Bones and Balance Team, and Mid Sussex Health & Wellbeing team.
