There’s never a dull moment at Balance & Beam, and as usual, our team has been busy creating a schedule packed with enjoyable activities, fun themes, cool challenges, and, of course, crazy cartwheels in our gym.
We have lots of exciting news to share in our monthly roundup, so here goes…
OUR SPOOKY-SAURUS HALF TERM CAMPS & HALLOWEEN PARTIES WERE A SELL-OUT!
Monsters, witches, pumpkins and all kinds of ghouls and ghosties came bounding through our doors during the October Half Term for our fun-filled Spooky-Saurus Camps and spook-tacular Halloween parties.
We had lots of fun making mummies and creating some creepy crafts, so we would like to thank everyone who made our week so memorable!
We hope your little ones enjoyed these days as much as we did!
If you didn’t get the chance to attend one of our camps this time, don’t worry – we’ll be doing it all over again (Christmas-style) next month. More details to follow, so read on.

CHRISTMAS PARTY CAMP |
|
We know it feels like Halloween has only just been and gone (and it has!), but here at Balance & Beam, we love a themed holiday camp. And since the next one happens to be our favourite, why not mention it now? Our One & Only Members Christmas Party Camp is not to be missed. Running for one day only (Monday, 23 December), this full-day, members-only camp will run from 9.30am until 4.30pm. The day will feature lots of traditional party games like pass the parcel, musical chairs and oodles of free play in the gym, not to mention an amazing Christmas buffet lunch. So, if your little elf is between 3 and 10 years old and would like to join in the festive fun, you can either book their place on our website or go straight to your Member Dashboard. Our early bird offer will save you £10 if you book your place before 8 December. Spaces are limited, and it’s first come, first served… so don’t be a Grinch, or you’ll end up missing out! |

CHILDREN IN NEED – All w/c 11th November |

It’s that time of year again.

Can you help us to raise money for the appeal by bringing a £1 donation to class? We will be collecting donations throughout the week commencing 11 November.

ELF ON THE SHELF |
|
Speaking of elves, we’ve heard rumours that this cheeky little chappie is planning to make his annual appearance at our gym very soon. Last year, he got up to some real mischief, so please keep an eye out for him when you come to your December classes and let our coaches know what he’s been doing! You can also check where he has been and what he has been up to on our Instagram page. |
And that’s the end of our November round-up. As always, it has been an absolute pleasure seeing you all at our weekly classes. If you have any questions about any of our upcoming events, or anything else for that matter, then please don’t hesitate to ask a member of our team.
Happy Handstands!
