CHRISTMAS FUNDRAISING STOP PRESS
At the Gym this morning, Chairman Richard Birbeck oversaw the draw for the Christmas Hamper and 6 others prizes. Congratulations to Katherine, Bob, Trevor, Helen, Sue & Rob, Emma and Sue, whose numbers were drawn by members gathered around. Prizes have been collected and will hopefully be enjoyed over the festive period.
A big thank-you to the Fundraising Team who organised this all, and to everyone who participated, either as a prize donor or participant (or both). We raised £109 at the Victorian Evening and an amazing £170 from this morning's raffle, all of which goes into the Gym's coffers to help keep it going. A great effort from all concerned.

FUNDING AWARD
The Gym has been awarded £500 by Localgiving and Postcode Community Trust, a grant-giving charity funded entirely by players of People’s Postcode Lottery. This funding boost will help us continue to provide a valuable fitness service to our members.

Chairman Richard Birbeck said: "We are delighted to have received the support of this charity. The grant will help us to continue to run our Community Gym, now in its fifth year, and benefit our members, including those referred to us by local Medical Practices under our Exercise Referral Scheme. We have now had over 13,000 user visits since we started in 2014 and hope to be able to continue to provide this essential local community service long into the future".
