TEESDALE T.O.W.N. CLUB
Many of you may have already heard about T.O.W.N Clubs or have been a member of one of the more than 120 clubs across Victoria.
T.O.W.N Clubs were established in Melbourne in 1968 so have been established for over 40 years, with an active membership of over 10,000 members. T.O.W.N is a non-profit organisation primarily run by dedicated committees of voluntary people, all ensuring and striving to work and promote weight loss for women, men and young people so they may lead longer and healthier lives.
With so many newcomers to the district we thought it was about time to tell everyone about our local group in Teesdale (just 5 mins down the road from Bannockburn), especially as summer is just around the corner and we all want to slim down a bit to fit into those cossies that seem to have shrunk over winter.
We meet every Tuesday evening from 6pm to 8pm at the Presbyterian Church Hall in Pyke Street. (Turn left immediately after the CFA shed and public hall and you’ll see us at the top of the hill on the right).
We are a relaxed, friendly and very social group and would welcome any one to come along and have a look before committing to join us. Get a couple of your friends together and give us a visit. You won’t be disappointed. First visit is free, how’s that for a bonus?
We don’t encourage ‘fad’ diets or replacement meals. Instead, we encourage weight loss by promotion of a nutritionally balanced diet, by giving support, encouragement, ideas, stimulation and practical advice enabling you to reach, then maintain a realistic weight.
Your doctor is the one that will advise you as to what weight you should be, not some chart that says your ideal weight is xxx. He knows your medical history and what is attainable for you with the right encouragement.
Now, down to the nitty gritty. If you would like to join our happy band it will cost you $35 joining fee and a weekly charge of $5. Weigh-in starts at 6pm and goes through until 7pm. We run our meeting and then go into support groups where we discuss different aspects of losing weight. This is the most important part of the meeting as this is where we glean the most information and support.
