Amanda’s Action Kids tomorrow, Sunday 18th May at 11:00 AM …and it’s FREE! - at the Paddling Pool, Duke’s Meadows , off Alexandra Gardens, London, W4 2RX (Nearest Tube Station: Turnham Green). 

Amanda will be supporting the Duke’s Meadows Summer Fun events programme this Sunday,  where kids can get fit in her lively session set to a soundtrack of nursery rhyme classics and the latest pop songs, accompanied by a variety of props and musical instruments. Age 4 months to 5 years but parents are welcome to join in. There’s a café and farmers’ market nearby for replacing energy burned off.
 

The creation of the pool is the culmination of 6 years work by the local community through the Friends of Duke’s Meadows. The £380,000 cost of the project was funded through the Friends social enterprises such as the Sunday Farmers & Fine Foods Market and grants from the London Marathon Trust, Living Spaces, Garfield Weston Foundation, Brett Trust and Hounslow Council. Stanhope PLC donated trees and shrubs to landscape the area.

Duke’s Meadows Trust have established a regular farmers’ market in the yard in front of the Masonian Bowls Club on Duke’s Meadow. This is a particularly apt place for such a market since the building used to be the stores for the market gardens that once thrived in the area. It provides a regular stream of revenue, opening up a range of new possibilities for the charity to improve the Meadows.

The market is held on Sundays from 10am to 2pm and can be reached from the path beside Cavendish School or from Edensor Road through Promenade Approach.

Inspirational Amanda Frolich, of Amanda’s Action Kids,  is organising a dynamic family event at Craven Cottage on Saturday 31st May 2008 between 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm at the historic football home of Fulham FC, Stevenage Road, London, SW6 6HH. (..and as Fulham miraculously managed to avoid the ‘drop’  it’s still going to be a Premier place to be - well done to Roy and the lads!)

Amanda said: “I decided to create a unique party atmosphere of fun-filled activities to help families reconnect and get re-energised. Too often, in my work, I see young families struggle with every day pressures of work and balancing family life, that’s why I think it’s important to take time out of our hectic lives and reconnect as a family. I’ve designed the events with something for all the family in mind. There are areas dedicated to relaxation to help parents unwind, action packed activities for little ones and sessions to encourage families to exercise together for a fit and healthy lifestyle through simple dance routines. It’s a great way for parents to de-stress and relax and re-energise and discover fun with their little-ones.”

The 0-5 Alive! Family Fun Day will feature:

• Amanda’s high energy interactive routines. Her unique props and funky music ensure everyone joins in

• The event will also feature a demonstration by 5-time British Aerobic Gymnastic Champion Katie Cannon
