UPDATE
Yesterday (30 April) was the last day of our two months as one of 3 beneficiaries under the TESCO scheme. Given that one of the others was a defibrillator for Beccles we can be sure we will not be the overall winner, but will not know until early June. One of your committee reckons he must have put in 1,000 tokens on his own, and several others have been active, transporting donated tokens down to Beccles. We can hope that this puts us into second place, but even if we get the third prize (up to £1,000) it will have been worth it, so thank you to everyone who got involved in this, pulling in support from friends and family to give us the best possible chance. You can now relax. It's over!

All 7 are still using the Gym to this day.
Happy Anniversary everyone, and here's to another 5 years.
