Due to the high level of interest, it won’t be possible to run as a permanent group but will initially run as short courses of six weekly sessions.

The sessions will run on Thursdays from 1- 2 pm and will be held at Firthfields Community Centre in Garforth (LS25 2HD). The cost for the full six weeks will be £30 per person, payable in advance via the U3A account, which will cover the cost of the trainer and room hire. We will not be able to offer refunds once the course has started. Please note that, for ease of accounting, and to save time at each session by avoiding collecting room hire contributions, we have slightly rounded up the cost - any surplus will be spent on treats at the end of the final session! 

The first group will start on Thursday October 15th. We hope to run further groups of six weekly sessions in a rolling cycle until everyone interested has had the opportunity to take part in one course after which we will look at the feasibility of continuing classes for those who want to progress. At this stage we cannot offer alternative dates, times or venues. 

If you are still interested, and can attend on the dates and times stated, please let us know by email as soon as possible. Places will be allocated in order of responses and we do expect this course to fill up quickly. 

We will also be setting up a WhatsApp chat for the Tai Chi group which makes it much easier to pass on information quickly. If you would like to be added to the WhatsApp please include your mobile number which will be taken as your agreement to be added to the group as required under GDPR. 

If you aren’t sure whether or not this is for you we are also running a one off, one hour taster session on October 1st 1 pm at Firthfields. Please let me know asap if you’d like to attend. The cost will be £5.  Anyone requesting the taster session will not be allocated to a group prior to attending the session but you do then decide to go ahead we can add you to a later group.
