To celebrate Armed Forces Day, we want to say a massive thank you the active way! 💪

This Saturday 27th & Sunday 28th June, our centre is offering FREE access to our leisure facilities for all serving military personnel and veterans. Whether you want to hit the gym, go for a swim, or take part in a class, it’s on us.

It’s our small way of recognising the incredible service and sacrifice of those in the Armed Forces. There’s no need to book in advance; just bring your valid military or veterans ID to our reception desk over the weekend to claim your free session.

We can't wait to welcome you through our doors! 🎖️🙌

❗A red heat-health alert has been issued across parts of England until 25 June. This is the highest level of alert and indicates a risk to everyone's health, not just vulnerable groups.

Close blinds and curtains on windows that are exposed to direct sunlight, move to the coolest part of your home and open windows (if it is safe to) when the air feels cooler outside than inside.

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for thunderstorms between midnight and 10am on Friday.

The warning covers Shropshire and means that thunderstorms could bring disruption in places during Thursday night and into Friday morning.

The Met Office says:

⛈️ Thunderstorms are expected to move northeastwards across parts of England and Wales during the early hours of Friday, clearing during Friday morning. Whilst many areas will miss them, thunderstorms may produce sudden, gusty winds with 50 to 60 mph possible, particularly in the south and west of the warning area. Frequent lightning, hail and heavy rain (possibly 15-20 mm in an hour) are additional hazards.

What should you expect?

▶️ There is a slight chance that power cuts could occur and other services to some homes and businesses could be lost.
▶️ Where lightning strikes or flooding occurs, there is a chance of delays and some cancellations to train and bus services.
▶️ There is a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded quickly, with damage to some buildings from floodwater, lightning strikes, hail or strong winds.
▶️ Spray and sudden flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures.
