CSSC London Newsletter

 

London 2010

Hello,

First of all, thank you to everyone that gave a positive response to the February e-newsletter and also to those who have contributed to this edition with new ideas and interests.

As you may know the Chadwick St Centre may be closing in late May. However, this will not affect the vast majority of London events; in fact even more events have been planned and all classes that are currently running will continue. If Chadwick St does close, our activities will be relocated to alternative suitable venues within the local area. In order for members to be sent up-to-date information on your chosen class/event, please register your interest via an email to Jon Johnson. Moreover, please do not hesitate to contact us with any activities that you would like to see included in the events calendar.

To help us expand and develop CSSC Sports & Leisure within London, please continue to promote us within your office and local area. We are also always looking for new volunteers and/or organisers to help us maintain our broad events programme, so please get in touch.

The biggest event on the CSSC sporting and volunteering calendar is also around the corner - the CSSC Games on the 15th / 16th September! It's now time to book your places to get involved in the largest number of sports ever to be included in a CSSC event! London members may also be able to claim a £60 subsidy on their CSSC Games booking!

Many Thanks
