Hi All
We had a small cohesive group at our “official” Christmas gathering at Hip Hops Brewery on Sunday. Petrina attended to take some photos which we share here and I have asked her to write a few words to us all.
I hope you are taking this opportunity to gather your particular Green Apple fellow-exercisers together to celebrate somewhere. You work well all year and deserve to celebrate Xmas.
Last weekend, a few of the members and staff of Green Apple came together to celebrate the festive season at Hip Hop Brewery, Brendale, and what a truly lovely afternoon it was. The atmosphere was relaxed, welcoming, and full of genuine connection — the kind of celebration where we could have chats one-on-one and really enjoy one another’s company. A heartfelt thank you goes to Linda Hansen, who so generously organised the afternoon. Linda even prepared a small gift for each person, adding a thoughtful and personal touch that made the day feel extra special.
When the grazing platters arrived, Hilary (Victoria’s sister) ensured everyone had the chance to enjoy them, walking around the table so no one missed out. This was Hilary’s last day in Brisbane for 2025, so it was a great way to celebrate her happy time at Green Apple where she has been so welcomed.
From relaxed conversations to shared food and plenty of smiles, I think we all felt our get together was really enjoyable.
Thank you for being part of our community. Your presence, kindness, and connection are what make the Green Apple more than a Centre — they make it a place where people truly belong.
I hope that all our little friendship-groups within Green Apple, who meet regularly in the Centre in Wellness Classes or on the gym floor, and often go for coffee at AHOY and occasionally other outings, have arranged to celebrate the festive season together. We have a real Green Apple community within the greater community in general and the special moments we create are so important.
Do you have family or friends who would like to trial attending Green Apple for a month? Our annual special, which we bring out at Christmas time, is available now and it is a wonderful gift if someone is ready to make changes for the better in relation to their health and happiness!
I love sitting down with anyone you refer because I enjoy listening to their story and their needs and then working out what we can do at Green Apple to help them. You, as a member, are the best walking advertisement for what Green Apple is all about. The fact that we have 29 platinum members who have been with us for more than 20 years and 39 gold members who have been here between 10 and 20 years says it all, doesn’t it?
Cheers
