Physical fitness - Fine display at the Town Hall

Article taken from Rochdale Observer 2nd February 1938

The Town Hall was crowded with people for a display of national dances, folk dances, skipping and other physical exercise by pupils of Rochdale keep fit classes. Councillor Crowder said the idea of the demonstration was to follow up what had been happening all over the country since the Prime Minister had launched the National Health campaign. Unfortunately in Rochdale men had so far not responded like women to the appeal to join keep fit classes.
