October Newsletter

8th Nov 2024

September has whizzed by, and it was great to see everyone refreshed after the summer break. We’re now ready to cartwheel into the spooky season! 

We hope you’re enjoying our comfy new lobby, which has been updated in line with your feedback to include even more seating.  

Everyone should also now have their ‘Kind is the New Cool’ wristbands, reinforcing the caring attitude we foster at Balance & Beam. Please let a member of our team know if you haven’t received yours yet. 

There’s lots to share this month, so let’s dive in! 

MACMILLAN COFFEE MORNING 

We’d like to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who took part in our fundraising event for Macmillan Cancer Support, especially those who baked cakes. Thanks to your kindness and generosity, we raised £1000 for the charity. This money will make a real difference to people living with cancer.

CALLING ALL BABY BUGS AND LADYBIRDS 

Do you have a little one who’s been waiting to join the Balance & Beam family? Well, we’re pleased to announce that new spaces are now available in our weekday classes! Check our Parent & Child Programmes page for more info, or head straight to your Member Dashboard to secure a spot.

NO CLASSES OVER HALF TERM 

A quick reminder that there will be no regular classes during the October half term, from Monday 28th October until Sunday 3rd November. However, we will be running a series of exciting camps and events (full details below). Our usual schedule will resume from Monday 4th November. 

NO CLASSES OVER HALF TERM 

If the thought of a week away from our gym is too much to take, why not book your little one onto one of Balance & Beam’s Spooky-Saurus Half Term Camps? These camps are designed for children aged 3 to 10 years. We still have full- and half-day options available, and we’re offering discounted rates for members. 

All the details are available on our Camps page. Alternatively, you can book via your Member Dashboard. Non-members are also welcome to come along, so please feel free to share this link with a friend! 

Spooky-Saurus Half Term Camps

FREE HALLOWEEN EVENTS FOR MEMBERS

Exciting news! We’re taking the opportunity to host some fang-tastic FREE parties for our much-valued members during the half-term break. These spook-tacular sessions will take place on Monday 28th October for our youngest children (4 months to 4 years), and Friday 1st November for older age groups (4 years and above). Halloween costumes are optional, but just so you know, there will be prizes for the best dressed! 

While these sessions are free for Balance & Beam members, you will need to book ahead. Click the link below to secure your spot. We look forward to seeing you there for some monster fun!

ORDER YOUR HOODIES & ZIP-UPS

The chilly autumn nights are drawing in, so we are placing an order for some super-snuggly Balance & Beam hoodies and zip-ups. This is also a great opportunity to get your hands on a stocking filler in time for Christmas. 

Both styles are available in various colours, and sizes start from 12 months. Hoodies cost £23.50 and zip-ups are available for £25. You can also personalise your purchase with your little one’s name for an extra £5. For more details, just ask at our front desk when you next come to class.
