Vitality is a specially designed program of exercise for people over 60 and people of any age with medical conditions and is subsidised and approved by NHS Lincolnshire. The class in Wellingore is proving popular, but there are still places available for interested participants. Run by trained teachers, the hour-long sessions are both fun and have made a big difference to participants.

Robina Heald takes the weekly class at Wellingore Memorial Hall, Mondays between 2pm and 3pm, which is open to anyone in the Community over 60 or who has a medical condition which prevents them from taking more strenuous exercise:

“The project is part of the Extend national program for older people and is designed to provide a number of benefits to participants such as improved mobility, balance, coordination through carefully planned gentle exercise classes,” she said.
“As teachers, we can help those people suffering from medical problems to join in with the exercise which caters for all individuals no matter what their ability.”
“But the classes are more than that. They aim to provide a number of social benefits in a safe, fun environment and encourage laughter and friendship as well as the physical benefits of regular exercise.”

Funded by NHS Lincolnshire, the class is FREE to participants and includes refreshments at the end.

Navenby Friendship Club has been going for just over 50 years. Until 18 months ago it was known as Navenby Darby and Joan Club., but the members decided they would like a more modern name.
The club meets on alternate Thursday afternoons between February and December from 2.30 p.m. to 4.30 p.m. in the Methodist Church Hall. The members play cards, dominos, triominos and scrabble. At their request we have the occasional prize bingo and beetle drive.
We have a team of 12 volunteer hostesses who provide a wonderful array of sandwiches, cakes and pastries for their afternoon tea. We are affiliated to Age Concern and WRVS who give support or advice when we need it. Membership is currently a £1 per year, £1 per meeting for tea and then we have a small raffle. We have four outings per year beginning in May and going through to October. We also organise a couple of Coffee Mornings each year to help pay for these outings (coach fare for members is free). These outings are open to other people once members have had their chance. We are also very grateful to the Towns Farm Trust who give us a donation towards outings each year. We finish our year with Christmas Dinner but have a break from December to February to re-charge our batteries and try to avoid the winter weather.
If anyone would like to come and have a taster session you will be made most welcome, age is no barrier.

You may be interested in a service which is saving lives in Lincolnshire. Lincolnshire Integrated Voluntary Emergency Service (LIVES) is a charity providing a rapid response to 999 medical emergencies, particularly in rural areas. LIVES responders are trained to deliver early basic life support and early defibrillation. They also provide patient assessment, oxygen therapy and general patient care, recording patient details which can be passed to the attending ambulance crew.
In 2008 LIVES members have attended over 13000 calls, 153 of which were cardiac arrests – with 23 of those surviving. In towns and villages where there is a First Responder group, the chance of survival following cardiac arrest has increased to 35 per cent. LIVES needs your help - as a first responder, as a LIVES medic if you are a doctor, nurse, paramedic or technician, or by helping us raise funds.

NAG is a group of local enthusiasts studying the history and archaeology of Navenby and district. The group holds regular members meetings usually on the third Tuesday of each month in the Church Hall. Public meetings with invited speakers are held from time to time through the year.

Membership dues are £15 per year, mainly to cover the cost of renting meeting halls. In 2005, the group received a grant of £24,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund to conduct a survey of the land to the East of High Dyke (Ermine Street) where no previous surveys have been made. The Project entails Field Walking and Geophysical Surveying with a particular interest to uncover more of the history of Roman occupation in Navenby. NAG also helps to maintain the Open Space at the corner of Chapel Lane and High Dyke which contains preserved archaeological remains.

Details of the group’s meetings, studies and events can be found on the NAG Website
