More than 350 keep fit fans aged 20 to 90 including a party from Chiswick and Twickenham, celebrated ‘Another 60 years of The Fitness League teaching’ at Echelford Primary School, Ashford.

Nine students graduated as TFL teachers in 1993 and Anita Best, Angela Porter, Margaret Kemsley-Smith and Pat Holden continue to teach fifteen years later. The four taught classes during the day and participated in the fitness and movement displays. Margaret takes classes in Chiswick on Monday and Twickenham on Wednesday.

The afternoon featured displays, culminating in cutting and eating of two celebration cakes at tea time. The proceeds of the huge rally raffle with more than seventy five prizes was donated to charity and the Children’s Variety Club are the recipients of more than five hundred pounds.
