Thank you to everyone who attended our meeting this month at Hovik. We had about 40 attendees.

Hopefully you have all been motivated and inspired to organise your spring and summer breaks! Basia Lipska Larsen WOWWWWWED(!!!) us with her agility in her fantastic yoga demonstration.  It was fascinating watching her! Look out for her classes.
