Autumn / Winter @ Monaghan Leisure Complex
Winter has arrived yet again and with the colder nights and shorter eve-nings upon us we at MLC are here to take away your winter blues. Forget the snow and budget cuts and instead of curling up on the coach in front of the fire why not get out of the house and treat yourself to a leisurely swim, a re-laxing session in our sauna / steam room or go for a jog in our fully equipped gym. The World health organisa-tion recommends that indi-viduals engage in adequate levels of physical activity throughout their lives to benefit their health. Physi-cal activity has been proven a key factor in the prevention of many life threatening diseases. With that said keeping your-
self or the family active is a must, no matter how you do it, keep us in mind. We at MLC strive to put
our customers first and
we will do everything it
takes to help you every
step of the way in your
journey whether its to
get fit, loose weight,
learn to swim, play
tennis or simply de
stress.
As the festive season
draws closer we all
take to the shops in the
hope of finding that
right present for a loved
one or a friend. Well
here is a simple solu-
tion, why not give the
gift of health and pur-
chase one of our special
r a t e membe r sh i p
vouchers.

STAFF NEWS
Behind the scenes
Coleen who teaches
many of our swim
lessons has become a
lifeguard trainer/
assessor with the
Royal Lifesaving

incredible achieve-
ment and is an excel-
lent career path to

port . Coleen will
continue to teach her
lessons and work as
normal but will also
conduct training
workshops which will
be beneficial to all
our current and future
lifeguards. Colleen

of her own private
lifeguard courses so
keep an eye out if
your interested.
Throughout the year our gym instructors are striving to de-velop fitness challenges to keep our users motivated and occupied. This year in august we held our first weight light-ing competition . There were 21 competitors between two categories, Squat and bench press. To the left is Johnny Hasset who won the bench category with 25 reps, and Edgar who won the squat category with 55 reps.

As a token of our appreciation for your continued support, this year for our annual birthday celebra-tion we held a bbq for all of our current members on a Saturday evening in August. The weather be-haved and it turned out to be a great dry evening. We had over 50 members who brought their fami-lies along with them to join some of our staff in celebrations. The kids were well entertained with our bouncy castle and adults got a chance to meet some of our staff in a social atmosphere. With Gerry, Dermot and Chris at the grill no one was poi-soned and the food was served to perfection . Well-done guys and we hope to have a second in 2011
Until Next Time......
We’ve had a action packed
year and even with things
going on behind the scenes
we’ve always put our cus-
tomers first. Our annual
customer appreciation
night will be held on the
17th of December in our
reception area. It’s a
chance for you to enjoy
some quality time with
other members and staff, it
also gives you the con-
sumer an option to high-
light any questions or con-
cerns you may have regard-
ing the centre.
We are currently taking book-
ings for our swim lessons
which will be starting the sec-
ond week of January, if your
interested make sure you book
your place soon as possible as
places are limited. It could
make a great gift and its never
to late to learn. We cater for all
levels and welcome any age
above 2 years. Parents please
be aware that children must
bring their own armbands/
swim hat and can only enter
the pool 10 minutes before the
lesson is due to start. They are
also required to be picked up 5
mins after their lesson finishes .
Thank you for your co-
operation.
That’s all the highlights for
2010, lets hope 2011 will be an
even better year . I think we all
know financially it will be a
tough year but on the positive
side as the saying go’s “ Your
Health Is Your Wealth” with-
out it then we’d have some-
thing to complain about . Stay
active and eat healthy :)
That's all folks,
Merry Christmas to you all
