Fancy a walk? get a health certificate

Ever wondered why you need an annual health certificate just to go walking - or even play boules? Allegedly it is the insurance companies of the sporting associations who demand cover in case the participants need urgent medical intervention or accidentally propel a 750gm boule against an innocent bystander. If you practise these sports independently then no certificate is needed, but join an association and straight away you need photo, ID and a health certificate. Of course most of us are at the doctor's cabinet every 3 months anyway so getting a certificate is not a hassle, but just a waste of the doctor's time. The government has proposed to scrap the need for an annual check-up in favour of 5 yearly certificates and 2 years for children.
One zumba teacher (not Kim) said she will continue to insist on annual certificates, presumably in case a student has suddenly, but unknowingly, developed a fatal heart condition.
Strangely you can continue to drive your car without any such certificate...

Malc says reading the post above it seems that hunters don't need a check-up - presumably hunting is not a sport.

Pilates and Zumba

Trying to get organised for this coming term (yep thought that may shock you).  Can you let me know if you are interested in receiving the new  fitness plan for september and October.  I am limiting the classes but will be increasing when the winter arrives and we need to get rid of the blues.  Also fingers crossed I will have a new pair of hands to help me.
