I am a Cardiac Exercise Specialist with more than 20 years in this field, and I will have been working at Birchwood Park for 15yrs on 1st April.

I support our members who are recovering from cardiac surgery and treatments including angina and heart failure, as well as those concerned about their heart health. If you would like to book some time with me to discuss your concerns, or even a family member’s concerns, you can find me at the club on a Monday between 08.30 and 12.30. I have also scheduled in some dates for Tuesday evenings, if you would like to talk to me, please book at reception.

Use of Disabled Car Parking Spaces

Please can all members be reminded that the use of the disabled car parking spaces is reserved solely for the use of those who are blue badge holders. We have recently been forced to ban a member for persistently using the disabled bays and wish to avoid this with anyone else.

I am attending the following courses to enhance my knowledge of working with children with special needs.

In March I will be doing a course Exploring Autism with strategies and solutions, and in April I will be attending Exploring ADHD, Dyslexia & Dyspraxia with strategies and solution.

Both courses will be a great asset to my knowledge and the way I deliver my lessons.
