The first meeting of the Bolton Cardiac Support group was on January 10th 1990 following considerable work by Sister Anne Kaneen and a multi disciplinary working group of health professionals. We meet monthly, on the third Wednesday of the month, in the evening from 7.15 pm to 9.30 pm at the Friends Meeting House, Silverwell Street, Bolton. We also run classes in Basic Relaxation and Stretch Exercise every Monday evening at the same time and venue. Weather permitting, each month the BCSG Walking Club meets for a walk in Lancashire's magnificent countryside. The walks are organised by members who walk and research the proposed routes beforehand and discover fascinating facts and anecdotes concerning the history and topography of the area.
Daisy comes too.
