Manager’s Welcome

I hope this finds you all well. I do hope everybody is enjoying the much warmer weather and managing to make the most of the holiday season.

As mentioned last month, we have reduced our class timetable to reflect the expected drop in usage in the club. Whilst I do appreciate that not everybody goes away, August is traditionally a very quiet month for the club, and as a result, we put on fewer classes. Please look out for timetable updates around the club, on our website, and on the app.

For the month of August, we will also have a reduction in swimming lessons for children. They will run every week, Monday to Friday from 16:00-18:00, up to and including Friday 23rd August. There will be no lessons on weekends and no lessons at all week commencing Monday 26th August. Normal lessons will resume on Monday 2nd September – we will put a reminder up in the club prior to this.

We will also be making the most of the quieter period, and have booked in contractors to fix the missing tiles in the pool. I expect this to be towards the end of August; however as soon as we have a fixed date, we will of course communicate this around the club. We will need to close off the pool area, however this will only be for a couple of days. Please keep an eye out for more information.

We intend to change the code for entering and exiting the car park barrier also, within the next month. This will be communicated in club, and in September’s newsletter, so please keep an eye out for it.

As always, I would love to hear from you if you have any comments or concerns – please do stop me if you see me around the club, or pop me an email at any time.

Wishing everybody a very happy and healthy summer!

Kind regards,

Kati Meagher & Your Roko Team

Sales of high-caffeine energy drinks to children under 16
With health and wellbeing in mind please be aware that we are stopping the sale of high-caffeine energy drinks to children under 16 from 1st August 2019.
High-caffeine energy drinks carry advice stating that they are not recommended for children, and there are widespread concerns about the impact that these types of drinks can cause when consumed by children under 16.
Therefore Roko is choosing to proactively act on the manufacturers guidance and these health and wellbeing concerns.
