I’m-delighted-to-report-that-I’m-not-the-only-one-who-sees-fit-to-have-a-moan-once-in-a-while.--Since-my-first-moan-in-the-last-issue-of-Link,-I-have-been-requested-to-have-a-grumble-on-behalf-of-a-mum-who-cycles-with-her-children-on-the-Rock-Road-(see-page-on-right)-as-well-as-a-local-resident-who-has-e-mailed-me-with-her-annoyance:
Dear Moaning Morwenna,
I read your article in the last issue of the Link with interest, about the removal of
wedding directions after the event. They are essential and often attractive; they
give you a wonderful sense of good things happening in a world portrayed on the
TV as so very gloomy. I agree, someone in the wedding party needs to be nomi-
nated to take them down afterwards.
On reading your article I immediately thought of my nearest telegraph pole!!
Hardly a week passes without a notice pinned on to advertise a local event or ex-
hibition. These are mostly posted by local residents who do not return to remove
them either. So yesterday on a freezing cold day I persuaded my man to accom-
pany me to the post with screw driver and pliers on a fact finding mission. How
many left-over drawing pins and staples could we remove? Just one innocent tel-
egraph pole. We had to stop when my man’s hands froze solid and the feeling left
them, blood trickled down his fingers and we reached six foot above the ground.
How many did we count? 501 that’s how many. 501 on one pole!
My message to the world, if you find the time to stick a poster up then find the
time to take it down. Bewildered Belinda

The-new-year-is-a-time-when-many-of-us-resolve-to-get-fitter-and-healthier-or-take-up-a-new-sport-or-activity.--Luckily-for-us,-there’s-a-huge-range-of-activities-to-choose-from-in-the-St-Minver-area:-from-sailing-to-short-mat-bowls-and-sailing-to-cycling.--But-have-you-ever-considered-Pilates,-a-great-way-to-get-people-of-all-ages-and-levels-of-fitness-back-to-rediscover-their-fitness,-strength-and-mobility?
What is Pilates?A-mind-and-body-exercise-regime-to-tone,-rebalance-and-reshape-the-body,-de-stress-the-mind-and-improve-the-posture.
Where does Pilates come from?Joseph-Pilates-was-originally-from-Austria-and-developed-the-basis-for-what-is-now-termed-Pilates-from-hisstudio-in-New-York-City-from-the-1930s-until-his-death-in-the-late-1960s.--Modern-Pilates,-although-based-on-Joseph-Pilates-beginnings,-has-benefitted-from-input-from-the-medical-and-physiotherapy-professions.
Who is it for?Anybody-–-whatever-age-whatever-level-of-demand-–-from-just-being-able-to-have-the-mobility-to-have-more-fun-with-the-kids-or-grandchildren-through-to-the-physically-heavy-demands-of-top-level-sportsmen.
The Aim of PilatesTo-produce-smooth-co-ordinated-
movements-which-can-be-repeated-comfortably-in-the-correct-sequence.Following-injuries,-Pilates-exercises-will-restore-natural-and-normal-movements-making-the-client-more-aware-of-a-better-way-to-move.--The-repetition-of-these-sound-movement-patterns-during-the-Pilates-session-will-encourage-them-to-move-this-way-during-their-daily-activities.
Why do things go wrong?For-most-of-the-population-physical-discomfort-is-caused-by-one-of-the-four-following---misuse,-over-use,-disuse-or-abuse-–-most-of-us-will-recognise-one-of-these-as-a-culprit-for-pain!In-order-to-restore-normal,-natural-movements-a-Pilates-instructor-will-look-firstly-to-improve-body-awareness,-then-work-at-restoring-the-optimal-muscle-length.--Following-this-the-instructor-will-look-to-establish-good-muscle-recruitment-patterns-recruiting-the-deep-stabilising-muscles-which-need-to-hold-the-skeletal-structure-in-place;-looking-to-find-an-improved-body-alignment.
