SUMMARY:Afternoon Film: Younger (PG)
DESCRIPTION:“Exercise is not a luxury. It is the key to healthy ageing.”\nOlga Kotelko (1919-2014) World record holder – Masters’ athletics \nIn a quiet corner\, far removed from big money\, celebrity status and drug scandals lies the true value of sport. This is a film about friendship and purpose in masters athletics\, a place where every five years\, getting older means becoming the youngest. \nYounger follows a group of female athletes in their 60s\, 70s and 80s over the course of a year as they prepare to compete in masters competitions. In these competitions\, athletes compete in age groups that span five years\, 60-64\, 65-69 etc. When an athlete moves up an age group they are then the youngest\, and this means they are more likely to win or break records. So\, as they approach the top end of their classification\, they look forward to being a year older and moving up to the next group where they will be the new kid on the block again. \nDorothy\, 85\, loves the camaraderie of her gang (as she calls them). Joylyn\, 69 hopes to keep going into her 80s and 90s. Sue\, 69\, says pole vaulting has helped her cope with cancer\, twice. Noel\, 74\, loves the technical challenge of race walking.\nFor all of them\, training and competing in masters athletics is about being part of a supportive community\, achieving personal goals and living a purposeful life full of adventures and fun. In doing so\, these women show an energy\, joyful determination\, and fulfilment in older age\, that offers a powerful antidote to lazy stereotypes around ageing. \nPLUS -Short film Older: A portrait of photographer and activist\, Alex Rotas.\nDir. Danielle Sellwood. 6m 32s. \nSupported by the Friends of Bishop’s Castle Community\, Care Home and Hospital.Tea and biscuits £1\,\nNo stairs\, tables  & chairs\,\nHearing loop\,\nFree Dial–a-ride bus service from Bishops Castle and Lydbury North please phone 01588 638350\nAll Tickets £4 Accompanying Carers FREE
