SO40 8GQ 023 8086 4424 www.calmoreservicestation.co.uk Please take to the Floor – Strictly for the Unemployed! Starting on Sunday 26th September there will be a FREE & exciting new activity at Totton & Eling Community Centre from 2pm until 4pm for a total of 12 weeks. Square dancing brings huge bene ts to participants including fun, tness and new friendships. It has also been proven to increase cognitive function. This 12-week FREE course is specifically for anyone currently UNEMPLOYED and aged 25 to 65 and their partners/friend. Funded by Southern Health Authority they have found a parallel with the skills used for square dancing practice and the skills sought-a er in the work place, such as listening abilities, learning new skills, teamwork, following instructions and commitment to task (to name a few). Square dancing is performed in groups of 8 (forming a square) and they can accommodate up to 5 ‘squares’ at the Community Centre – so a maximum total of 40 people per session. All they ask is that participants are committed to attend for the full 12 weeks and they give it their best go! So, what have you got to lose? ere is no cost involved (including a well- deserved cuppa part way through!) it’s a fun activity with new, useful, transferrable skills gained in the process. You will need to complete an application form to take part. ese are available from all local community centres including Totton & Eling (Situated behind the Totton Civic Centre) Monday to Friday 9am until 4pm. Forms can also be requested by calling 023 8086 6950 .

A few small quilts will be on show and a ra e quilt will be o ered to raise funds for charity. ey will be open from 10am to 3pm and a voluntary donation on the door will also go to the fund.
