Had a brilliant weekend at the Tastes of Rutherglen festival which was organised by Spirit Travel. Very good value for money. We covered a lot of enjoyable experiences over the three days that we were in the area, which included wine-tasting, cheese-tasting, a lunch cruise on Lake Mulwala, mustard tasting and much more. In spite of the fact that we did a lot in a short space of time, at all times it was very pleasant and relaxing. It was a small group, but we all got along very well and had a fun time together. Our bus driver, Kevin, was fantastic, cheerful at all times and most obliging and helpful. A wonderful weekend away and would definitely go away with this company again.

Last year I attended weekly sessions of Qi Gong which were run at abovenamed Centre by Darryl Mitchell. These sessions were for Women Only and ran for an hour each Tuesday morning. As well as being very knowledgeable and skilled in this ancient art, Darryl also ran these classes with much humour and fun. I couldn't wait to get to class and the 25 minute drive to get there never deterred me from going. I found the class energising, uplifting and really set the mood for the remainder of my day. I was very disappointed when classes were changed to a Friday this year as I had to work on that day and I really do miss Qi Gong. However, my working hours have changed, which leaves me now with free Friday mornings so I will definitely be returning to class as soon as I return from my upcoming overseas trip. I really look forward to experiencing that wonderful feeling of all-over good once and socialising with the lovely fellow students and of course with our wonderful teacher, Darryl.
