BWY Northern Region AGM 2010

Next year's AGM will be Sunday 10th October at the Marchesi Centre in Windermere, Cumbria.

Charity Yoga

Around 60 people attended this year’s Charity Yoga event on 21 October to raise funds for the Holistic Cancer Care Centre at James Cook Hospital, Middlesbrough organised by BWY yoga teacher Kath Carrick and two of her students, who are dedicated fundraisers having had first hand experience of the Holistic Centre. Yoga teachers and beginners alike filled the gym at Grangefield Youth & Community Centre, Stockton for the yoga session of gentle asanas followed by breathing practice, meditation and relaxation.

Kath’s students served refreshments, sold home-baked cakes and ran a raffle and, together with the sale of the second Favourite Recipe booklet which this year included Hints and Tips, expect to raise over £900. Barclaycard have agreed to match the donation on a £ for £ basis up to £750.

Kath and her students would like to thank Grangefield Youth & Community Centre for free use of the gym and lounge, the advertisers in the Recipe booklet and all who attended or made donations and made the day another success.
