HAPPY 9TH 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 and Ted Shread, with Dennis Passingham, Chris Sparkes and Richard Birbeck all coming ​in the first month.  All 5 are still using the Gym today.  Between them they have notched up over 2,300 sessions. ​
