Hi All
I think the most important topic for me to write about in the newsletter this week is how important it is to be aware of how many germs are circulating in the community at present. There is a nasty vomiting and diarrhoea bug that can leave you very weak. There is a great deal of Covid around and many members have been telling me how sick they have been. One Member has escaped Covid since 2020 and finally got a really nasty dose of it.
We now know that Covid is not just droplet spread. It is also airborne dispersed so all the previous precautions we were asked to take are still relevant. If we have any symptoms like a cough or are sneezing but still not showing a positive reading for COVID, wearing a mask when you are in close quarters with other people makes a lot of sense. Washing hands and using the hand sanitizer gel is still relevant. Using a towel on equipment where you can and wiping equipment after us is still our in-house rule. It all helps keep us as illness-free as possible it is worth the little extra effort it takes and I ask for your help with keeping Green Apple a safe place to come to.
In the New Year I plan to have another “Open Day” for our Pilates Studio. Now that Jesse and Charlie are accredited trainers in this great exercise modality they will be able to support Nathan and Wanda deliver our Pilates services. Both Jesse and Charlie are excited to have the opportunity to share their enthusiasm for what the Pilates Reformer can do. And I am really keen to see more members feeling the benefits of participating in this very effective physical activity.
If you plan to purchase one of our Christmas Gift Packages ($130) you will receive a lovely monogrammed Green Apple towel (valued at $45) and a teaching session in the Pilates Studio (valued at more than $110). This will be one of the options you will be given to choose from.
This newsletter will be our final edition for 2024. The next one will be ready for you Monday January 6. You should have received our Christmas/New Year schedule by now if you get our E-newsletter. Do come in to keep us company if you are in Brisbane over Christmas and New Year. We all need to be exercising at this time of year even more than ever!
Brian, I and all the Green Apple Team wish you a wonderfully happy and satisfying festive season.
Victoria
