| DOGS BANNED FROM KNEBWORTH RECREATION GROUND? |
Will dog walking soon become a thing of the past in Knebworth Recreation Ground?
Following a recent incident in the recreation ground, when two dogs started fighting, we have heard there is a move afoot to stop local residents exercising their dogs, whilst off of a lead. Apparently, a 'loose' dog attacked a dog on its lead, which then retaliated, severely biting the attacker. It is a sad that this isolated incident could affect all dog walkers. I would have thought that a more common problem is that of fouling, amazingly, some walkers still don't pick up the mess their dogs leave. Perhaps walkers should not be allowed into the grounds unless they have a disposable bag with them. After all, if you haven't got a bag then you haven’t got the intention to dispose of any mess.

| KEEPING FIT & HEALTHY FOR ALL AGES |
| REGULAR EXERCISE |
The Knebworth Walking Group continues its fortnightly rambles on Tuesday mornings, meeting at 10am in the Village Hall Car Park. There is a weekly fitness and toning class in the Village Hall on Tuesdays from 6.30-7.30pm. On Fridays in the Village Hall there are two opportunities to get active.

If you don't want to walk, run or do an exercise routine, perhaps you like to dance? Zumba, the Latin-inspired, easy to follow, dance fitness-party session is coming to Knebworth from 5th September. Sessions will be on Monday mornings - when better - from 09.20-10.20am. Contact Vicki Lewis on 07413 625700 for more information.

| KNEBWORTH RUNNERS NETWORK |
Liz Kirby and her friend started running training in January 2011 in preparation for a 10k charity run. Mow they are fitter than ever and totally hooked on the buzz they get from running; so much so that they decided to look for a local running club. Then it occurred to them, why drive to a running club when there are lots of beautiful running routes around Knebworth?
If you are interested in helping create or join a Knebworth runners' network, please contact Liz at lizkirby63@gmail.com. It doesn't matter what your motivation is - competition, getting fitter or simply becoming better acquainted with your fellow villagers. |
