Monday If you’ve ever wished that exercise could be more like a party, you might want to try a Zumba class. Zumba is an informal mix of dance styles from mambo, merengue and cha-cha to belly dancing and hip hop. Classes are informal and fun, with the emphasis on movement and enjoyment rather than accuracy. They run from 7:30 – 8:30pm every Monday at Moorlands Community Centre. Your first class is a steal at £1, with subsequent classes costing £5 each. Pay on the door.
Tuesday Cyclists keen to get involved in the local cycling community can attend this monthly meeting of the Lambeth Cyclists, upstairs at the Priory Arms pub at 7:30pm. Topics for discussion include cycle projects, route improvements and organised rides and social events.
