It is with huge sadness I have learned Rossalynn Soult has passed away. She was the first person to attend the Ripley Tai Chi Club and then go on to be an instructor. She was a truly remarkable lady who embraced all aspects of Tai Chi and made it the focus of her retirement. She went onto to run her own successful classes in Waingroves and this news has come as a huge shock to myself and I'm sure, those who had the good fortune to practise with her over the many years she attended both Ripley, Oakwood and her own sessions at Waingroves Tai Chi Club. We will miss you very much, Rossalynn. Neil x
