We all wear them..........We all love taking them off at the end of a long day and most of us can't live without them. We are of course talking about the wonder that is a BRA.
Now it's time to show your Bras some love...........We are challenging you to decorate a bra, your old one or an up cycled one from a charity shop. The more whacky and outrageous the better, flowers feathers ribbons and bows. Sparkling lights, funny faces everything goes.
Bring it to the meeting, wear it later if you wish or you can bring it on a hanger. Prizes will be awarded ......................

We all managed to find a space on the floor for our mats and there wasn’t too much moaning & groaning as we were very gently taken through some exercises. Better still we all managed to get up at the end!
