UXBRIDGE Arts & Culture — Restaurant in Howick

Acrylic pouring class was an absolute waste of $138! The first hour we each had to sit and stir a cup of paint to the right consistancy while the tutor came around & added water. All the cups should have been made up ready to use then the tutor could just make one up quickly for the class to see the process (which is basically pouring paint in, adding water & stirring till smooth & runny).

60+ Pilates survey: Venue: Excellent - always clean, welcoming, warm, interesting Tutor: Juliet is absolutely wonderful.

Class: We have a growing friendship with each other as most of us have been doing the same class for a number of years. This meets the need for community which is a high need in our age group as health, marital status, work status etc changes and isolation can become a major issue. Benefits: The health benefits of this class are very important for our age group in terms of balance, flexibility, muscle tone etc. Doing this class is part of my well-being and I'm very...
