Castlewellan GAC are once again organising Activ8. For those that are unfamiliar with the concept, it is a health and fitness programme held throughout the Lenten period. It is for men and women aged from 18 to 80 of all abilities.

We have over 20 weekly events and each person that signs up can pick and choose what they attend, all for £30, less than £1 per day!

The participants are grouped into 8 teams and encouraged to attend as many events as possible to get points for their team.

The events include; Salsa Dancing, Tag Rugby, Running, Yoga, Circuits, Ballroom Dancing, Zumba, Hiking, Tai-Chi, Basketball, Archery*, Chair Aerobics, Netball, Pilates, Walking, Cycling and lots more. Again all for just £30!!!

Registration will take place on Thursday 27th February in Castlewellan Club from 8.00pm with activities beginning on Ash Wednesday 5th March 2014.

There is also a social aspect to this programme and we’ll be planning a few nights and evenings as well and as everyone who participated last year will testify, its good craic too!

So if your New Year’s resolutions are a distant memories and you want a challenge then this is the perfect programme for you.
