Thanks to Clare for sharing news of activities taking place at West Wight Sports Centre over the festive period. In her own words. Ed
Everyone at West Wight Sports Centre would like to wish you a very Happy Christmas and healthy 2012 – come and keep fit and have some fun with us over the Christmas period.
Christmas Quiz Night
Monday 19th December from 1900. There’ll be mince pies and mulled wine and no doubt lots of laughs as our staff organise their famous Quiz! Please book a table – max 6 per team, £10 entry per team.
Christmas opening times
We will be open every day between now and the new year apart from 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th December and 1st January. Our swimming times will be posted to our web site shortly.
Christmas Indoor Football Kick-about
Monday December 19th 0900 – 1100. Run by Luke Flux (Level 1 FA coach) this will be an organised kick-about – with 2 hours of supervised matches, games and bit of coaching.
Cost is just £2.50 (which will include a free swim at 1100). No need to book but we would appreciate a call if you are thinking of coming so we have an idea of numbers
Indoor tennis
Indoor tennis winter special. Too cold and wet to play outside at this time of year – so we are offering a very special price of only £5 to play tennis on our indoor full sized court
Table tennis special
Did you even know we had table tennis tables?!
Here’s a chance to keep active through the wet winter days – we’re offering the table tennis tables, bats and ball for only £2 per hour.
Hall hire
Hire the whole hall before 5 pm for just £10.50.
Get a group of friends together for a football or basketball session or just let the kids run riot in the hall with a ball for an hour (rioting supervised by parents though!)”¦what better way to let off steam in the build up to Christmas.
Free trampolining
Free trampolining taster sessions for children. Saturday January 7th 2012 we will be giving children the chance to try trampolining FREE OF CHARGE in one of four 45 minute sessions.
You do need to book a space as we expect to be oversubscribed.
We run trampoline coaching sessions every Tuesday afternoon and the next course starts on 10th January – if you book on this course at the free sessions we’ll be giving you a 25% discount, making the 5 week course cost just £22.90.
Easy Does It
This is an exercise class specially tailored for those adults with restricted mobility or fitness and it runs every Wednesday 1115 – 1215.
The class is designed to improve your physical activity, even if you need to take part seated, however our instructor Bob Hallam ensures that there are also plenty of laughs!
Reduce your stress levels
Tai Chi is an excellent way to keep fit and can help improve circulation, joint mobility, reduce stress and lower blood pressure.
Our classes are on Thursday evenings 1930-2030 and the next course starts on January 5th
Something for the litte ‘uns
Mini Movers has become so popular we now run two sessions a week – on Wednesdays 0930-1030 and Fridays 0915-1015.
We include soft play, action songs and trampolining, plus a mini basketball net, skittles and lots of balls.
Your little ones will love it and they get the run of the whole sports hall.
Support for your local charity
Can we remind you that we are a charity?
The original pool was built by volunteers in the 1970’s and we continue to run on a tight budget but with just one aim – to provide sports and fitness facilities to our community.
We are constantly fund raising and looking for support – the best thing you can do is come in and use the Centre but also please keep an eye out for our many fund raising events which will be coming up in the new year – most notably the next WILD WEST SOLENT SWIM which will be on July 15th 2012 (which happens to be the day after the Olympic torch comes through the West Wight – which we also intend to celebrate – watch this space!!)
The above are just a sample of our many activities and events that run every day throughout the year – please call in and find something to suit you”¦even if it’s just enjoying a home made soup in our cafe – we’d love to see you!
