Slam Dunc for Health and Wellbeing Expo

Olympic Gold medallist, Duncan Armstrong, will headline this year's Health and Wellbeing Expo at the Lockyer Valley Sports and Aquatic Centre.

Being held on Saturday 23 August, Lockyer Valley Regional Council Mayor, Steve Jones, said the Health and Wellbeing Expo gave visitors an opportunity to focus on their health with about 50 exhibitors present on the day.

This expo gives attendees a range of ideas from nutrition through to sport and recreational activities, Mayor Jones said.

As well as having 50 exhibitors there will be a lot of demonstrations including line dancing, belly dancing, Latin dancing, aerobics, bootcamp and much more.

The highlight of the 2015 event will be guest speaker and master of ceremony for the day Duncan Armstrong.

Following a successful swimming career, which saw him win gold medals at the 1998 Olympic and 1986 Commonwealth Games, Duncan has moved into the media.

He is an advocate for health and fitness and was inducted into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame for his contribution to sport in this country.

It is great that we have been able to acquire someone of the calibre of Duncan and he will complement the other activities on show, Mayor Jones said.

The NRL are coming along with an inflatable skills station and there will be a Food for Health' stage with sessions on healthy smoothies and fun recipes. There will also be Tai Chi, Yoga and other demonstrations as well as activities for children.
