Updates

January 2010 - Having built a self funded extension to the gym, the club found itself in dire peril as during the build it was found that the whole west side of the gym had to be pulled down and rebuilt, however thanks to the patience and generosity of the builder on site, Bob Bristow and the fund raising efforts of the committee lead by Colin Parsons the club is once again on an even footing.
