The new dates are on the YWCA Adelaide website for the free Encore program.Basically starts October as term 3 most of us don’t like going out in the cold.It is an 8 week program , 2 hours per week.Involves one hour hydrotherapy and each week is a guest speaker covering topics relevant to breast cancer.Is also a wonderful opportunity to meet up with others in the same boat - maybe even make new friends.There are 2 locations - one north and one south.From a personal viewpoint I found it excellent and highly recommend it.If you are interested it may be an idea to apply quickly in case it fills.Will try to paste details below but if am not successful go on YWCA Adelaide website.http://ywca.com.au/programs/encore/

Great news - you will enjoy it and find it helpful . Weather is warmer , lighter later and is always a way round most things if we think creatively.

Sending off my forms for Daw Park tonight :)

@Sister Superb! They must have been brung up proper by a mum they love. ;) K xox

PS It is particularly recommended for those with lymphoedema.

PPS YWCA holds this program in some other states too - might be worth a look on your state YWCA web site. They also provide regional programs not just metropolitan. Last I looked NSW had an extensive number of programs but Victoria none.Here in SA it’s mainly metropolitan but they put the occasional regional program on.

@Sister I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying the ExMed programme. The strength is coming back into my limbs and I'm noticing the difference. It's a big time commitment which is a pain, but totally worth it. I hope you get a ton out of Encore. K xox

Library closes at 6 when the session ends - lucky it will be daylight but will still be a mad dash! Oh well, that's how I usually roll...

Warmer days and light longer will help us all.

Great kids and fantastic news @Sister - enjoy it - they want you to ( and so do I) xo Libraries are wonderful parking spots plus the odd treat might be good - edible or otherwise.xo

I signed up for this weeks ago - logistics were always going to be tough but I thought I'd register and worry about the details later. Well, later has come and I honestly thought that it was going to be way too hard and after starting back at work this week, hard us something I just can't manage. Anyway, I asked the kids if we could make it work as it will mean they have to hang around after school for 3 hours as there's no way they can get home without me. All said they were happy to work it out so full steam ahead!

Hampstead would be easier for me location-wise but the time and day makes it impossible, so off to Daw Park, I go.
