THE COMMUNITY GYM TEMPORARY CLOSURE
Today’s Government advice regarding the containment of the Coronavirus and “no unnecessary social contact”
has left us with no option but to suspend the operation of our Gym from today until further notice.
Our main aim, as always, is to act in the best interest of our Members and we hope that you understand our position.
From this date your Annual Membership will be frozen and reinstated when the Gym re-opens.
Those on our e-mailing list will be informed by email when we are able to open again.
Please also check local social media and this website for updates.
Thank you for your understanding.
Your Committee

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING OUR CYCLATHON
We would like to say a huge thank you for all your support for our Cyclathon on Sunday 22nd September.
The overall amount raised through direct pledges, donations through our crowdfunding page and on the day was £1,072.76. This exceeded our hopes and reflects tremendously on both the fundraising team and our supporters in the wider community.
The 20 participants and their supporters were also overwhelmed by the interest and generosity shown by passers-by. We clocked up 142.8 miles at an average speed of 11.9mph and raised just short of £250 on the day. A special mention has to go to Dean and his team at Loddon Co-op, without whose support and assistance this would never have been possible, and to James and Vanessa for the loan of their gazebo.
Well done and thank you!

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