THE heralds are calling seniors to gather at Aquamoves for some light exercise, bird feeding and sightseeing while enjoying some brilliant company as they walk around the Victoria Park Lake Wednesday mornings.

The PuFF walking program is a free guided walk around the lake with Aquamoves fitness instructors Scotty Kennedy and Bronwyn Williams, for people over 60. The lively group of regulars sets off at 9am (8am during daylight savings) from the café in Aquamoves and are back in 45 minutes to enjoy a nice coffee at the café, debate the footy and solve the world’s problems.

It’s as important for the social interaction as it is for the body for the gang who regularly participate in the weekly activity.

“It’s nice to have the coffee afterwards because you don’t always get to catch up with everyone along the way,” said Diane Courtie.

To join the fun free activity, call Greater Shepparton City Council on 5832 9785. Or come along Wednesday’s 9am (8am during daylight savings) to Aquamoves.
