| Following the success of the course at Ferryhill Leisure Centre, Age Concern have booked more dance sessions, this time at Bishop Middleham Village Hall. The sessions will be open to anyone over the age of 50 and will encourage both absolute beginners and people with some knowledge of dance to come along and enjoy a session. There is no reason to book your place, just come along and join in with this social and enjoyable activity. The group will no doubt be made up of people of all standards; the whole idea is to get people up and on the dance floor. It is hoped that the sessions will be well attended, as the plan is that they will continue from the 6-week taster session until we have either the new Darren Gough or Ginger Rogers! The course starts on Wednesday 11th January 1.30 pm - 2.30 pm and initially runs for 6 weeks. There is a suggested donation of £1.50 to contribute towards the hire of the instructors and the hall. If you miss a week, or can't make the first week, don't worry; just come along to the next one that you are able to get to. Age Concern Ageing Well activities in Sedgefield Borough are funded by Sedgefield Primary Care Trust For more information please contact: Mike Bridge on 01388 720064

Sedgefield & District Citizens Advice Bureau .Advice column Consumer advice after Christmas Question I bought a CD player in the Christmas sales and its faulty. Can I ask for my money back? CAB answer You have just as much right to expect the item that you are buying to be of good quality as if you had bought the item before the saie. The only difference with sale items is that if they were clearly marked as 'shop soiled' or 'scratched' you would not be able to ask for a refund because of this as you would have been aware of the faults when you bought the item. If another fault appears, you may still be able to obtain a refund, a replacement or repair. All legal sale rights still apply to good bought in a sale. They must be of satisfactory quality; fit for the purpose you are buying them for and as described on the packaging or labels. That means that if a saucepan is described as non-stick, the egg you are frying should not stick to it, and the 100% cotton blouse you buy should be exactly that.
