Leisure events to support cancer care

2:32pm Wednesday 3rd October 2007

SEVERAL of West Wiltshire District Council's leisure centres are this month running activities to raise funds for Breast Cancer Care.

Warminster Sports Centre, Melksham Blue Pool, Christie Miller Sports Centre in Melksham and Leighton Recreation Centre, Westbury are all taking part in the Life Cycle event that allows people to come into the gym and achieve a set distance on an exercise bike within a set time.

Each person taking part can decide what distance they do over either a week or a day during October and they will be given a sponsorship form to collect money for their challenge.

Christie Miller Sports Centre will also be running a charity bingo night on Thursday October 11, with prizes to include days out at various adventure parks and attractions, wine, chocolates, vouchers for squash, gym, bowling, classes, swimming and much more.

Anyone wanting to take part or find out more should call 01225 702826.

All sites, which are managed for the council by DC Leisure, will be supporting the In Pink day on October 26, with staff dressing in pink and themed aerobic classes.

All customers are asked to come dressed in pink and make a donation on the day in the collection boxes provided.

Alongside this, Castle Place Leisure Centre will be running a Spin-athon where the aim is to keep the spinning bikes going all day.

A booking form is now available on reception for people to allocate themselves a 30 minute slot, so please call on 01225 762711 or contact reception to take part in this event.
