More exciting news for our Tai Chi class!

Following his success at the ICO Welsh Open back in April, we're thrilled to announce that Steve Wentworth-Pollock has just returned from the ICO Scottish Open with a lovely collection of medals! The total count was six, comprising three golds, two silvers and a bronze. Whilst the bulk of these were for his exploits in Karate, one of the golds and the bronze were for his Tai Chi performances, learnt right here at Wombourne Leisure Centre!

This is Steve's last competition prior to travelling to France in October, where he and his daughter (who is a junior member here and who also achieved two golds and a bronze at the Scottish Open) will be representing England in the ICO World Championships. Good luck Steve and Annalise - we look forward to hearing how you get on in France.

If you'd like to become a future national champion, or if you'd just like to improve your mobility, try something new or find a relaxing way to exercise, why not come along to our Tai Chi classes? You'll be made most welcome.
