Manager’s Message

So we’ve almost made it through another year. A year which for us has seen an overhaul of the gym and we’re finishing it off with a much anticipated refurbishment of the showers and changing rooms. At the current time we have a tentative start date of 8th December with confirmed dates and scheme of work available nearer the time. Please see in club for details of dates, times and potential disruption which of course we will aim to keep to a minimum.

Our friends in the hotpod have gift vouchers available for the festive season. Perfect as a stocking filler…or maybe get dropping hints if you’d like an excuse to go to hotpod yoga yourself!   

We'd like to finish the year by asking you to take a short survey about your membership and your experiences at the club. It should only take around 3 minutes to complete and we'd really value your feedback so please click on the link to complete our survey - thank you!

Our charity focus has been the Smile shoe box appeal for members of the armed forces who are serving in conflicts around the world. We had a fantastic response so thank you very much for your kind donations which we are sure will be gratefully received.

Best Wishes to you and yours for the festive season,

Julie Bowley and your Roko Nottingham Team

YOGA WORKSHOPS
Our final yoga workshop of the year, and perhaps the most ambitious!
December 3rd 2.00 – 3.30pm - Arm Balance Workshop with Victoria
Ever wondered how to get into a headstand properly and safely? Curious to try that yoga pose you saw on social media but not quite sure how to start? 
Let's get some air time balancing on our hands and a chance to get upside down! 
This workshop focusses on activating the core, breaking down more challenging postures with detailed asana analysis and of course a chance to try it out safely with guidance and assists.
Great if you want to find your inner strength and learn how to find centre of gravity while working the full body.
This is a workshop suited to those who already practice yoga, where you can build up bodily awareness when having a playtime balancing on your hands instead of your feet!Victoria’s workshops are £12 members and £15 for non-members.

SWIMMING NEWS

Re-enrolment is starting to go out this week, Monday 27th November, if you book your place before Monday 11th December you can claim your free 3 day pass and a coffee! Pay by date is Sunday 17th December, after this date spaces will be opened up for the waiting list and anyone else wanting a space on the programme.

The programme is continuing to grow and we welcome on board 2 new teachers, Abel & Finley, they will be teaching swimmers across the programme.

There will be a new lesson concept happening in January 2018, Fast track lessons, these are lessons with 3 swimmers of similar ability in one group with a teacher.  We have found that swimmers learn better in small groups, watching and learning from other swimmers with the added benefit of the teacher being able to spend time with each swimmer.

Children’s Birthday Parties are back

If you’re looking for a birthday party venue, look no further!  Here at Roko we have 2 large studios and a splash pool to host your little ones parties.

Dance, football and pool activities along with set party menus are available.
