West Lancs activities on May 18th
- Royal Mile – Come down and join us at Coronation Park, Ormskirk and do #yourmileyourway around our Royal mile path - walk, jog, hop, skip, cycle, cartwheel, scooter etc – however you want to get round – you decide! We will be starting the mile at 1pm and then join us for a well-earned traditional tea and scone/fairy cake after your mile! Unfortunately, Prince Harry and Megan are a little busy to join us but we can give them ‘cheers’ with our brews!
- Line Dancing – we will be having an outdoor line dancing session by the Bandstand at Coronation Park, Ormskirk at 2pm. So come on over and join in the fun – no co-ordination needed! Don’t forget to ‘pledge your mile’ as we will easily Line Dance the equivalent of a mile!
- In addition, if you are going to Park Pool, Nye Bevan or Burscough Leisure Centre that day – jump on the equipment, swim in the pool etc and clock up a mile that day ( or over the course of the week!)
Remember, don’t let your hard work go unrecognised - remember to PLEDGE YOUR MILE at www.yourmileyourway.co.uk
