York Newsletter June 22

6th June 2022 | York

Welcome to June

Although the weather as I write would not confirm this, we are now well on the way to summer! Half term is now over, and I do hope that many of you were able to take advantage of the extra bank holiday this year and partake in some celebrations!

Please keep reading on to learn about our brand-new studio timetable, an extra SwimFit session (which is INCLUDED in your membership) and some other exciting news and events. I cannot encourage you enough to read this monthly newsletter each month, as it will help you get the most out of your club membership.

Our aim here at Roko is to provide a warm, welcoming environment for people of all ages, abilities and fitness levels. Please help us maintain this welcoming environment by treating each other with care and respect, no matter where you are in the club.

All the best for the month ahead, and we look forward to seeing you in your club very soon!

Tom and your Roko York Team

A message from York Foodbank – THANK YOU!

A HUGE thank you to all members who donated items to York Foodbank via the collection boxes in the club’s reception area! Watch out for other opportunities to donate very soon…

A quick note on lost property

As a club, we get left with a HUGE amount of lost property. If you have misplaced an item in the club, please speak to the reception team who will be able to help return it to you. Due to the HUGE volumes of lost property we receive, we will be running a new system whereby after 2 weeks, possessions are either given to charity or recycled. Please note – we hold all ‘valuable’ lost property items for more than 2 weeks.

We have teamed up with EcoLeisure supplies, to try to divert pool waste such as old goggles and swim costumes away from landfill. A recycling point can now be found in the club’s reception area.
