Circuit Session Garlogie

The circuit session scheduled for Wednesday 13 January will go ahead as planned. Doors are open from 6.30pm with the session starting at 7.00pm

Circuit Session Wednesday 06 January at Garlogie Hall - Cancelled

It's a pity I put out a note about circuit training this Wednesday at Garlogie. As you'll appreciate no-one should be put at risk and bearing in mind road conditions plus the forecast for Wednesday I've decided to cancel the session. Normal service will be resumed on Wednesday 13 January - provided the weather eases.

Best Wishes for the Season of the Year

Merry Christmas Everybody

Cranks - November 2009

Cranks for November was on line at 2300 on Thursday 19 November 2009. 

 

You will find links to it below.

 

Those of you who get paper Cranks may just have to wait a little longer this month. The small photocopier I have has breathed its last. Salvaged from a works redundant equipment store it served its purpose well for about 18 months but is now kaput. Currently I'm researching a printer/copier/scanner to replace several pieces of equipment and I hope to have something soon. I'll need to visit the library for you this month.

 

Those of you who do get Cranks by Royal Mail could try downloading your own copy and letting me know. It will save me a lot of effort. However, don't worry, if you do need to get paper I'll ensure it reaches you as soon as possible.
