Following the announcement re Tier 4 restrictions in December and with no current plan to reduce these restrictions for Richmond as we move into the New Year we will be unfortunately continuing with the current closure of the Community Centre and gym.

We are awaiting news on the small of number of activity groups that have been permitted to continue – Largely those providing services and support for under 18s. The gym team will be meeting virtually next week to plan a small programme of online classes and support that we will offered during this enforced closure period. A newsletter outlining this programme will be sent out in the week of 4th January and details posted on this website.

Once again we send our apologies to all Centre users and gym members and hope you will bear with us during this period of disruption.

Have the happiest New Year that you can in the circumstances and we look forward to seeing you all again soon! Here’s to a better year in 2021!

Following from the recent government announcement of a further lock down period from 5th November to 2nd December we will be closing the Community Centre and Gym from the 5th (last gym session Wednesday 4th). Many activity groups will be continuing online. These include Drawing, Yoga, Tai Chi, Choir, Ukulele,Creative Writing. Please do get in contact if you need  any help accessing these groups. We are also planning to offer some online gym sessions which we anticipate will be led by a member of the gym team. More information on this will be emailed out to gym members and will also be added to this section of our website. The closure is a great shame as we have been slowly building back up from the previous shut down and all the feedback had been very positive. We very much hope that this will be a short interlude and that we can get back to normal service as soon as possible. Take care all and we look forward to seeing you again before too long!

We expect that most of you will have heard the latest government announcement about a second nationwide lockdown from Thursday 5th November. Although MPs will be voting on this on Wednesday, the guidance already issued indicates the mandatory closure of gym facilities.  We will be discussing the detail as further information becomes available however we have halted the ability to book gym sessions from close of play on Wednesday 4th November.
