October/November 2009 |
| ::: Note from General Manager |
Welcome to another edition of the Body and Soul E-Newsletter. We hope you enjoy the membership news and other brief health tips and recipes we provide each month. However, we would truly appreciate input and comments from our members, so please let have any feedback you feel will assist us improving our service.
We are all looking forward to the cooler weather arriving and we have planned some great programs for the coming month’s. I hope many of you will come to our Annual Members Day on October 16. We have arranged entertainers for the children, competitions for the adults and a special raffle prize draw. Bring the family and invite your friends to show them around the Club. Look out for the Pool Volleyball Competition, it should provide some real fun so enter your team of 4 and have a go!
For the kids, we have our annual Halloween "Trick or Treat". Last year we had a great time dressing up with the children and knocking on doors with them.
We are very excited at the prospect of the new Club opening soon. Construction is under way, although a little behind schedule. We now hope to open very soon after the New Year. The Club will offer a real opportunity for sports fans to take part in their favourite sport. With basketball, cricket, 5-a-side-soccer, tennis, squash and badminton all included, the Club will offer something for everyone. In addition, we have created a ladies only section with their own pool as well as the 25 meter family lap pool. The first 300 members will join for no initiation fee and the Al Quasais members can join for a nominal additional fee.
As always, we appreciate your support especially at this difficult time when the economy is so uncertain. We hope you will continue to make fitness, sport and health a priority and look forward to welcoming you with a smile.
