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

Society. This is an

incredible achieve-

ment and is an excel-

lent career path to

which we fully sup-

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

will be holding some

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
