MFC Foundation Bringing the power

Fit Boro Back At Loftus And Skelton

FOLLOWING a successful programme for the ladies which ended shortly before Christmas, MFC Foundation are now running a 12-week FIT BORO programme for men aged 35-65. A fitness programme for the body and mind like no other, FIT BORO was named Project of the Year at the Foundation’s annual dinner in November.

It might just be a perfect way to work off any Christmas and New Year excess you may be fortunate to have indulged in. It is a programme that has helped so many in recent years, offering a welcoming and supportive environment with likeminded people. Our staff on the programme don’t judge, they advise and help. That’s maybe one of the reasons FIT BORO programmes have proved so popular in the past.

Friendships have formed as wellness for the body and the mixes with nutritional advice.

The free sessions run at Skelton Civic Hall on Wednesdays from 5.30 and Loftus on Fridays at 1.15.

Happy Birthday Derek

BROTTON-born

Derek McLean played 123 games for the Boro, scoring 30 goals. Derek celebrated his 90th birthday shortly before Christmas and to commemorate that one of his old teammates at Ayresome Park, Alan Peacock, presented him with a framed shirt as a gift from MFC Foundation. They made their debut in the same season, 1955-56. McLean was a winghalf (right side of central midfield in today’s game), while Peacock was an inside forward, playing alongside Brian Clough. The idea for the presentation came from the Foundation’s Charlie Bell and Alan Geddes (pictured).
