Reigate Sports Festival, 1st May, 2011

We were so pleased to exhibit at the Reigate Sports Festival this year, among the dozens Reigate’s Sports Associations. We (Phillip) arrived for set up around 9am and we all left around 4pm. Thank you Phillip for setting up for me.

It was such a joy to see so many people participate in the YMCA Fun Run which was taking place from 10.30am with many family activities and sports demonstrations throughout the day.

The great thing is that we had nice weather, much unlike the previous year when it had been raining solidly all morning.  Belinda who is leading our new Beginners Yoga Course joined me to help (Thank you Belinda) and I think we even caught the sun.  The storm that had been on the weather forecast for the Royal Wedding since Friday must have passed its way on…Perfect week end.

We met other sports associations such as the Meadvale Karate club , fellow users of our Meadvale Hall and the Reigate Pilates, all in very good spirit.

We had much to publicise ourselves with new Courses starting over the next couple of weeks, whether the Pregnancy and Postnatal Courses next week, the Beginners Yoga Course on 10th May or the new Baby Yoga Class on 7th June.

New potential students left their email addresses with us to receive our Yoga updates and we are looking forward to seeing them soon.

We organised a Prize Draw and we are very pleased to announce that Claire Clark won a Core Stability Ball, complete with DVD.

We would like to thank Sue Sergeant the Council’s Leisure Development Officer to have kindly invited us again this year. We felt the organisation of it was just perfect and it was very easy for sports clubs to participate. Thank you.
