Westwoods 8th Birthday Party
Our 8th Birthday Party was as exciting as ever, with children and adults all having a great time!
Throughout the day activities included a BBQ, Bouncy Slide, Superstars Sports Day, races in the pool, face painting, Puffin the Balloon Man, under 3 activities in the creche as well as arts and crafts and chocolate melting in the sports hall. For the adults there was wine tasting in the brasserie too courtesy of M&S Craigleith.
We would like to thank:
Puffin the Balloon Man, Magician Gary James, Cool Faces for their wonderful face painting, Robert from Marks and Spencer and Fun and Games Scotland for the inflatables. We would also like to thank all staff and members who came along and made the event such a success. You can see what our members thought of the 8th Birthday Party in our comments section.
River Ramble
Forth FM are running a River Ramble event on Saturday 12th September. The event is primarily aimed at families and gives you the chance to discover a beautiful hidden part of Edinburgh whilst raising cash for kids!
You can either raise money via sponsorship or pay £20 per person or £30 per family to take part. All the money raised will go to Forth FM's Cash For Kids appeal. You can pick up an application form at reception.
Information Sheets and Articles
The Fitness Instructors here at Westwoods have created a wide range of information sheets and articles to hand out to members or to be published in local magazines. A selection has been added to the "Downloads" section with more to follow.
Westwoods Superstars
We are now taking bookings for our Easter and Summer popular multi-activity camp for 5-12 year olds. For all the information you need, including costs, dates and downloadable application and information forms, visit the Superstars Page.
Total Rugby
In association with Fettes, Total Rugby are running various coaching sessions in August on the playing fields outside Westwoods and would welcome participation from boys and girls aged 5-16. The sessions offer a unique chance to be coached by current professional players and former internationals. For more information please visit the Total Rugby Website.
New Class - Hatha Yoga
We are delighted to announce that from 17th June we will be starting a new yoga class in the studio. Feedback from members suggested that a daytime yoga class would be preferable and the majority thought that Hatha would compliment the two Iyengar yoga classes that we already run on Wednesday evening and Saturday morning.
The class will run from 12.15pm every Thursday.
We would like to thank all members who responded to our request for comments and suggestions.
Class Instructor Change
A quick note for all those dedicated Tuesday morning Studio Cycling participants, your 7am class will now be taken by Bill Shields. Stuart has decided to drop this class from his weekly schedule, but you can still see him at Westwoods on Friday for Studio Cycling at 9.15am and on Saturday morning for BodyPump at 11am.
