Zumba Gold® – The Zumba Gold program targets the largest growing segment of the population: baby boomers. It takes the Zumba® formula and modifies the moves and pacing to suit the needs of the active older participant, as well as those just starting their journey to a fit and healthy lifestyle. What stays the same are all the elements the Zumba® is known for: the zesty Latin music, like salsa, merengue, cumbia and reggaeton; the exhilarating, easy-to-follow moves; and the invigorating, party-like atmosphere. Active older adults want camaraderie, excitement and fitness as a regular part of their weekly schedule. The Zumba Gold class is the perfect fit. It’s a dance-fitness class that feels friendly, and most of all, fun.
In the February 2010 issue of IDEA Fitness Journal, research from the Journal of Aging and Physical Activity shows that dancing for the active older population “… can improve aerobic power, lower-body muscular endurance, strength, flexibility, balance, agility and gait speed for older males and females.” This means, for active older adults, the Zumba Gold program is the perfect fit. It’s a dance-fitness class that feels friendly, and most of all, fun!

Following a very successsful mini-season in this November, Sherborne Rugby Club will run a further 8 week season in January and February 2012.
Sherborne Rugby Club and Sherborne Sports Centre have come together to organise a veterans mixed touch rugby team. Meeting on Tuesday nights, the aim is to offer a fun and social game for men and women over 35.
It’s all about having fun… The ethos of the sport is enjoyment. Team members are invited to turn up and play; it’s social rather than serious rugby.
Mixed teams are very popular in Touch Rugby as it is one of the very few sports where men and women can compete on equal terms. Players need not have played the game before but pace is a genuine asset.
We are also looking for referees. If you don’t want to play in all the games but would like to referee a few then there is always a need for more referees and we would welcome you with open arms.
Dates: Tuesday 10, 17, 24 and 31 January, 7, 14, 21 and 28 February 2012.
Time: Aim to arrive in enough time to warm up and stretch. A series of short matches will begin at 7.30 pm and will end
by 8.30pm
The venue: Sherborne School Floodlit Astro Pitch on Horescastles, Sherborne, just down from Skippers Public House . Parking is available on site
Cost: £3.00 per person per session

Sherborne Sports Centre held a fun 24 hour charity swim in aid of the Peace International School, Kigali, Rwanda on Sunday 11th December 2011.
Thank you to all those that participated or helped on the day!
We had 149 members take part throughout the 24 hour period and we smashed our target of 4100 lengths, by swimming a total of 9880! We had 2 – 92 year olds all swimming as many lengths as they could in their allocated swim slot. Some people collected sponsorship, some just bought cakes and raffle tickets on the day. The whole day was a great centre event and so far we have raised over £2,600 for the school in Rwanda.
If you have any questions or would like to know more about this charity or the Peace International School in Kigali, please email gshackle@sherborne.org or call 01935 810548.
