To say a lot has happened within<br />
the Centre over the last six<br />
months would be an<br />
understatement.<br />
After gathering feedback from<br />
members and visitors to the<br />
Centre over several months, we<br />
are now open every weekday<br />
morning from 6.30am and on the<br />
weekend from 8am, allowing the<br />
chance to get an early workout<br />
seven days a week, either in the<br />
gym or on court. The new<br />
opening times are currently on<br />
trial, so if training before work<br />
appeals to you, make sure you<br />
visit us soon, as we will be<br />
assessing how busy the Centre is<br />
before 9am when the opening<br />
times are up for review.<br />

Jack Petchey<br />
The evening of Monday 17th September<br />
2007 saw 17 local children receive<br />
achievement awards for their<br />
commitment to their chosen sport.<br />
All the children train at <strong>Redbridge</strong><br />
<strong>Sports</strong> and <strong>Leisure</strong>, which is one of over<br />
1,000 clubs participating in the Jack<br />
Petchey scheme within London and<br />
West Essex. The scheme provides over<br />
£1m each month in support of sports<br />
clubs and schools, and is aimed at<br />
Young People aged between 11-25.<br />
One winner was Matt Gillingham, an 18<br />
year old former Trinity Catholic School<br />
student, who combines a part-time<br />
football coaching role at the Centre,<br />
alongside playing for newly promoted<br />
Dagenham & <strong>Redbridge</strong> F.C. His<br />
passion for football and sport in general<br />
helps to inspire the young children he<br />
coaches, and his award will help provide<br />
additional equipment for the children to<br />
help aid their own development.<br />
The presentation evening was<br />
organised by Gemma Sewell (Assistant<br />
Manager, <strong>Outdoor</strong> <strong>Sports</strong>), was hosted<br />
by Matt Reynolds (Assistant Manager,<br />
Business Development) and the awards<br />
were presented by Norman Booth<br />
(Chairman). Chris Bullock, the<br />
Foundation Awards Officer for East<br />
London, spoke on behalf of Jack<br />

The awards covered a six-month<br />
period from January to June 2007,<br />
and winners came from sports<br />
ranging from Hockey to<br />
Gymnastics. Each individual<br />

Jack Petchey Award Winners<br />

represent received a cheque for<br />
£200, with the winner asked how<br />

coaches who are fully CRB checked<br />
and Child Protection certified. The<br />
development programme is geared<br />
around individual technique to help<br />
young players be more comfortable<br />
with a football. All players receive a<br />
free ball upon joining, which they<br />
keep and use to complete fun tasks<br />
set by the coaches to maximise noncontact<br />
time. Our affiliation with<br />
Newbury Forest Football Club<br />
means players can join a team and<br />
enter into fun, yet competitive<br />

Gym<br />
As always it has been a busy few months in which we<br />
have continued to develop our gym programme to meet<br />
the needs of all our users. It has proved exceptionally<br />
popular opening the gym at 6.30am as we are<br />
approaching the 1,000 mark of visits. So if you have<br />
not tried an early morning training session before work,<br />
now is the time to do so and start your day with an<br />
adrenalin buzz!<br />
If work gives you enough of a buzz itself, then may be<br />
you are more inclined to come to the Centre to relax<br />
and unwind. We are now offering Yoga and Pilates<br />
FREE to our Ultra Members. These two activities are<br />
part of our ever expanding range of studio based<br />

is always exciting to watch, they<br />

Jatinder Panesar, Peter Skingsley &<br />
Cliff Ormes. Both pairs had played<br />
superbly well and had won all of their<br />
games to this point. During the final<br />
there were some superb rallies and<br />
shots from both sides, but Alan and<br />
Jatinder shone through and won the<br />
title for the third year running.<br />
New Generation of Champions<br />
<strong>Redbridge</strong> has certainly retained its<br />
family atmosphere in the badminton<br />
hall, with lots of our club members<br />

tournaments alongside their parents.<br />

A new look to our Friday<br />
mornings.<br />
Daytime coaching sessions for<br />
individuals and groups.<br />
was very high and the games were<br />
competitive and well fought. Our<br />
juniors, champions of the future<br />
played their socks off and the adults<br />
played hard and gave them the<br />
respect they deserved. Matthew<br />
Lampard and Colin Jones retained the<br />
title for the third time beating Alan<br />
Sheehan and Tony Hicks in a great<br />
final. It was the end of an evening of<br />
excellent play.<br />

RACKETLON<br />
For the first time on the 17th - 19th August, <strong>Redbridge</strong> hosted the<br />

What is Racketlon? Players compete in 4 disciplines, one after the<br />

21 in each, the player with the highest accumulative total is the winner.<br />
