So we’ve done a bit of changing ourselves, and created this new online magazine for Pendle Leisure Trust - bringing you all the latest news, updates, offers and more from across our centres and facilities.

It’s now even easier to find out what’s going on with this combined publication, meaning you will never miss a beat and always be updated and informed about activities, shows, classes, offers and more.

You can now reach out to us on Facebook via the official Pendle Leisure Trust Facebook page (facebook.com/PendleLeisureOfficial) - search for jobs, report an issue, share your thoughts and success stories etc.

Coming up in 2013, we’ve got more sports, more leisure opportunities, more entertainment and a whole load of other excellent initiatives to get up, out and about. We thank you for staying with us in 2012 and we look forward to welcoming you back again in this new year!

ENTERTAINMENT FOR EVERYONE THIS FEBRUARY AT THE ACE CENTRE AND THE MUNI THEATRE With a great line-up of comedy, children’s theatre, live music, movies and more the Muni Theatre and The ACE Centre are the places to be this February.

UPCOMING EVENTS THIS FEBRUARY

Having bought a model ship, the Unicorn, for a pound off a market stall Tintin is initially puzzled that the sinister Mr. Sakharine should be so eager to buy it from him, resorting to murder and kidnapping Tintin - accompanied by his marvellous dog Snowy - to join him and his gang as they sail to Morocco on an old cargo ship.

The ACE Centre

Sakharine has bribed the crew to revolt against the ship’s master, drunken Captain Haddock, but Tintin, Snowy and Haddock escape, arriving in Morocco at the court of a sheikh, who also has a model of the Unicorn. Haddock tells Tintin that over three hundred years earlier his ancestor Sir Francis Haddock was forced to scuttle the original Unicorn when attacked by a piratical forebear of Sakharine but he managed to save his treasure and provide clues to its location in three separate scrolls, all of which were secreted in models of the Unicorn.

Adventurer’s young and old can enjoy the classic Tintin adventures, brought back to life in this newly created epic. Join Tintin and his faithful furry sidekick Snowy in their latest outing to discover the Secret of The Unicorn The Adventures of Tintin showing Saturday 2nd February at 2pm

MUD, SWEAT AND BEERS

After taking part in possibly the toughest event on the planet, we catch up with team organiser Andy Pickard from Pendle Leisure Centre to find out more about Tough Mudder 2012!

Members and instructors from Pendle Leisure Centre in Colne competed in Tough Mudder 2012.

With the team name Mud, Sweat and Beers, a total of 10 people signed up to the challenge – four instructors and six gym members.

Pendle Leisure Trust gym instructors Andy Pickard, John Bannister, Danny Kelly and Sean Malkin lead a team including Helen Kalan, Tony Robinson, Wayne Hampshire, Kelly Mulligan, Amy Smith and Lee Nuttall.

The challenge, at Cholmondeley Castle Gardens in Cheshire, on Sunday, consisted of a half marathon distance course with 28 obstacles, designed by the British Special Forces. These challenges included running through fire, jumping into ice-filled lakes and being electrocuted!

Andy Pickard, said: “I asked some members who had achieved great success at our gym to train with our instructors and ultimately take part in the challenge.”

For two months the team trained hard together, completing various indoor and outdoor sessions tailored to the Tough Mudder obstacles. This included running through rivers, crawling through muddy fields and swimming in near-by open water.

Andy added: “We did it! And what an experience it was – both physically and mentally. But I am very proud to say all members of Mud, Sweat and Beers battled through the elements and crossed the finish line together.

“Over 8000 people took part in it over the weekend and many didn’t finish. People were being rescued from the water by lifeguards and collapsing on the course with hypothermia. The cold temperatures both in the water and out turned out to be our biggest challenge.

“As a personal trainer at Pendle Leisure Centre in Colne, I have worked closely with each team member and seen their progression and ultimately shared in their success, going from an inactive lifestyle to conquering the toughest event on the planet.

“I would like to thank our sponsors, Pendle Leisure Trust, for supporting us throughout, our families and friends who made the journey to cheer us on and most importantly to the Mud Sweat and Beers team for all their effort.

“I can’t express enough how proud I am of everyone who took part- to come from where they started from to completing Tough Mudder is absolutely amazing – and such an achievement.”
