There will be refreshments and a free raffle, with prizes including one-to-one personal training sessions with qualified gym instructors; golfing umbrellas and other items.
Michael Sobell Sports Centre, Aberdare, was officially opened by HRH the Prince of Wales, Prince Charles, on November 10, 1970.
