Christmas comes early at TLH Leisure Resort
Written by Julia on 9th November 2009
The festive season has already got off to a great start here at TLH with the launch of our new Health and Fitness suite – the main event being the Zumba classes led by our very own Zoe. Zumba is one of the latest crazes to sweep the country as a really fun way to get fit – being described as easy to follow moves to hypnotic Latin rhythms. A bit like Salsa with a purpose perhaps!!
But if that is a bit ‘full’on’ for you why not warm those fingers and toes by joining in on one of our Dancing or Bowling houseparties here at the Carlton and Toorak hotels. The Mistletoe Dance Party this year is hosted by Gerald and Margaret Thompson who have a large following of walkers and dancers alike, all with the mutual aim of keeping fit by having fun. The dancing is ballroom and latin social dancing and with Mulled Wine, a Tea Dance and a Farewell Ball it is sure to kick off the Festive season with a swing.
Our other main social event of the lead up to Christmas is the annual Toorak Short Mat Festival when bowlers stage a fancy dress parade and vie for the Golden Turkey awards, presented at the Christmas party on the last night. Lots of light hearted ‘competition’ – on all levels!!
But if it’s competition you want – with cash prizes- then bring along a team from your Bowls club to our Christmas Club Championships. Every year bowlers enjoy a pre-festive holiday and compete to take home a contribution to club finances – which is surely what the spirit of Christmas is all about!
So lots of ideas to get you trim, whilst getting together with friends old and new and re-charging those batteries ready for the celebration food and tipple – so see you soon!
