Fitness Feb

It’s the KPs biggest challenge to date, as we aim to walk from Medway to The Bourbon Room, LA (the home of Rock of Ages!). That’s 5,461 miles, the equivalent of 15 million steps!

Once registered you will be sent a unique URL and details of how to join the challenge. All you then need to do is to track your steps and miles on the Activity Tracker.

During this 4 week challenge you can log all your different activities on your personal activity tracker dashboard (whether that’s walking, running, yoga, zumba, housework, gardening, netball, football etc.) and every step you make will count towards the Challenge target of 15 million steps.

Let’s rock and get active this February!

Rock Of Ages

A Kick-Ass Musical

It’s the tail end of the big, bad 1980s in Hollywood, and the party has been raging hard. Aqua Net, Lycra, lace and liquor flow freely at one of the Sunset Strip’s last legendary venues, a place where sex machine Stacee Jaxx takes the stage and scantily clad groupies line up to turn their fantasies into reality.

Amidst the madness, aspiring rock star (and resident toilet cleaner) Drew longs to take the stage as the next big thing (and longs for small-town girl Sherri, fresh off the bus from Kansas with stars in her eyes). But the rock ’n’ roll fairy tale is about to end when German developers sweep into town with plans to turn the fabled Strip into just another capitalist strip mall.

Can Drew, Sherri and the gang save the strip – and themselves – before it’s too late? Only the music of hit bands Styx, Journey, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake and more hold the answer.
