Throughout today (4th June 2011) Tamworth Castle Grounds played host to the first Tamworth Fitness Festival, this was a community organised event which attracted thousands of spectators join in, watch and meet over 40 local groups and fitness companies from Tamworth.
The thing that continues to get me about Tamworth is the massive diversity of activities that are available.
I was there in the later part of the day as Mayor of Tamworth and managed to watch dance displays including a Zumba session (keep an eye out or the Mayors Charity Zumbathon coming soon). I also managed to meet some of the activity groups in Tamworth and some of the commercial club/gym operators, one of which is a fantastic story of achievement. LDFitness, a local firm owned and ran as a new family business starting in 2005 as a personal fitness training instructor now has a gym at Tame Valley and is looking to expand. certainly bucking the national trend.
With all these events and groups in Tamworth there is no excuse not to get involved, we all need to shout about them and look at ways to find them online etc.
Today was a great event that showcased what Tamworth has to offer and also a credit to the community members who put it together with the support of Tamworth Borough Council's events and sport development staff.
Well done to all
