Ralston Community Council is delighted to announce that another programme of activity classes will be held this autumn with the help of National Lottery funding.

This time, classes will be run in partnership with OneRen and will take place in Ralston Community Sports Centre, Penilee Road, PA1 3AX (except for one class, which will take place in Ralston Community Centre, Allanton Avenue, PA1 3BL).

The programme will start on Wednesday 27 September and run for 10 weeks until Monday 4 December.

All of the excellent instructors from the spring programme have agreed to return, except for pilates,  where we’re delighted to welcome Kerry Stewart as our new instructor. Each class will last for 45 minutes.

Enrolment for courses will be done online through the OneRen website. A link to the enrolment page will be available shortly and will be published on this website when it becomes available. It is hoped that enrolment will open in early September.

When you enrol, OneRen will charge a fee of  £30 per 10 week course. This has been heavily discounted with the help of the funding we have secured.

Because of the nature of this collaborative project with OneRen and our funding restrictions, the classes are open only to residents of Ralston over 18 years of age. In addition, OneRen card holders will still need to pay the enrolment fee.

If a class for which you wish to enrol is full, please notify us by emailing rccclasses23@gmail.com and we will  try to schedule an additional class.

The classes available in the programme are:

Day Time Activity Instructor
Mondays 10-10.45am Gentle Keep Fit Margo
