GYM CLOSURE ON 24 JUNE
We are very sorry that Louise had to close the Gym today around 4 o'clock. When she arrived to set up today there were puddles of water in two corners of the Hall and evidence of wet patches across other parts of the floor. In addition some of the liquid was viscous and slippery and after a couple of hours trying to manage what was a widespread problem, it was concluded that it was not worth the risk of injury to continue.
Our apologies to those we had to turn away. We have been assured everything will be sorted before tomorrow's session opens at 4.30pm.

HAPPY FIFTH ANNIVERSARY
On Monday 7 April 2014 the Community Gym in Loddon opened its doors for the first time. It welcomed a modest 12 users on that day, including Mike Balmer, Roy McLean and Ted Shread, with Julie Lane, Dennis Passingham, Sue Schopp and Chris Sparkes all coming in the first month. All 7 are still using the Gym to this day. Happy Anniversary everyone, and here's to another 5 years. |
GYM HITS THE 15,000 MARK
On Friday 8 March we achieved another milestone for the Gym, just a month short of our 5th Anniversary,
when Linda Perryman became the 15,000th user to visit the Gym since we started in April 2014.
We continue to average around 250 visits each month, and would like to thank all our members,
new and longer-term, for their continuing support for this valued community facility.
