What a summer it has been! We've had lots of heat, lots of sun, and another very successful summer barbecue. Now as the nights draw in and the temperature starts to drop, we've reached the halfway point of the school term - it's time for the October Half-term update! Firstly, what have we been up to at the club? We've been very busy recently with updating all of your membership cards for the new season, there are a few stragglers still to renew, but for the most part we're up to date! This year's BBQ was a great success and we're in the stages of planning our next event at Christmas, more information to follow! Not too long ago we had some staff changes! Francesca & James have both headed off to university and Archie has left to work in London (Although you might still see them around occasionally). We would like to welcome three new faces, Erin, Jordan & Kristian, to the team! We are still continuing with our ongoing fundraising for a Hollies defibrillator, more information on that will be coming very soon. As far as club upgrades go, we've been at a steady pace in planning for refurbishments to the changing rooms and the replacement of the spa - we are still in the planning stage however, as there is lots of work to do! The spa itself is not small feat of engineering! The new poolside air handling unit has been installed and commissioned, but not quite running yet - we are working on trying to make it quieter, so as to not keep some of our closest neighbours awake at night! Lot's of head scratching was needed, but we think we've found a solution to the problem! That's it for now, see you next time! Dan :) |
