SQUASH SHOES AND OTHER RULES
We must remind players that Shoes with Black Soles are not permitted even if they say NON MARKING. Squash Court 2 & 3 were badly damaged at the weekend because of Black marks.
Also we have had to remove chewing Gum, Stones, Food and other damaging items from the courts. It is very important that we respect the courts and refrain from bringing food, drinks and dirt on court.
LASTLY, some Juniors are NOT wearing their Squash Goggles on court!!!! It is so important that you ensure they wear their Goggles. It is compulsory World Wide until they reach 19 years and there is a good reason. If you are hit with a squash ball in the EYE it is very unlikely the eye will recover. If a junior is seen on court without goggles they will be told to leave the court. If they continuously refuse to abide by the rules of squash they will be reported to management.

Commencement of works on tennis courts 16th September

Dear members,

Please be advised that the long anticipated works on tennis courts will commence on Monday 16th September. New poles and new LED lights will be put up on courts 1-9, while courts 1-4 will also be resurfaced.

The works will be done in 3 stages, with first stage being courts 5-7. Court 4 will also be fenced off as it will be used for moving equipment etc. The next stage will be courts 8&9, followed by the last stage courts 1-4.

Projected timeframe for the completion of all the works is 7 weeks. We kindly ask all the members to bear with us until the works are fully completed.

We look forward to the benefits of the new upgraded LED lights and newly resurfaced courts.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Premier Fit Newsletter Sept 5th

Hey Everyone,

So we are back into that time of year again, the kids are back to school and everyone is getting back to the usual schedule. The mornings are getting colder and the bright summer feeling is starting to slowly leave, so how about looking to get on track with your gym schedule? We have a 30 minute class from Monday to Friday at 7.10am to start your day with a solid sweat and some mental clarity for your work or school day.

We would also like to officially welcome some new Gym Team members to the community. One local some of you may know Neil Walsh, has been with us for the last couple of weeks. Going forward he will be mainly making the odd guest appearance as relief staff, but when you see him make sure he feels welcome and you ask him plenty of questions on how to stretch and reduce pain around injuries as he is making his final push towards becoming a physio.

Another face that is new to the team is Jamie Hill whom you will see a lot more of from next week. He is a fantastic Yoga Instructor so we plan to make use of that to add more yoga to our class schedule to help get you all more flexible. Jamie is also just about to do a triathlon this coming weekend so ask him how he got on when you’re chatting to him over the next week and if you have any interest in going for one yourself, well he will be the man to ask.

Important PSA is with everyone getting back to swing of normal life. We expect the morning classes to be PACKED out, so no more strolling up expecting a free place in a class. You need to pre-book to ensure you have a place. If a class is full - it’s full, we only have so much space and if we overfill a class we lose the quality you expect.

Finally we sadly say goodbye to one of our more frequent gym users Stephen Parsons, he will be missed around the Gym. Deepest Condolences to his family and friends during this difficult time.

Best Regards,

The Gym Team
