Be quick to be in........ the learn-to-ski classes and beginners squash classes are all but full. Enquire now at Reception to get your name down for the Recreation Centre Term Two Specials.

Badminton for beginners is now Only on Tuesdays at 10 and Fridays at 10. We have had to axe (temporarily) the Friday 11-12 class. But coming soon, in its place, will be golf for beginners. So watch this space if you want to improve or learn to swing.

We would still like more teams for the Social Volleyball Competition. Has your Department class, flat, got six people who would enjoy a casual volley on Thursday 12-1? If so, give us your team's name at Reception.

The Sweet F.A. Cup first round on Wednesday 16th May saw Mutants, Aro, Ablob, Eagles, Geology and Murrays go forward into the second round and Wombles, Victoria's Champs, Chemie, Greasies, Pols, and Maintenance go into the Sweet F.A. Plate first round. The draw and first round scores are featured on the Centre noticeboard.

Are you anxious about imminent exams or is the pressure of work making you tense or irritable? Centre staff can provide training in relaxation techniques, so come and talk to Diana or Hugh......... and relax.

Using the Exercycles

1.First, adjust the seat correctly for yourself.
2.Decide upon how long you wish to cycle.
3.Gradually, over a period of one to two minutes, build up the cycling rate to a speed which you think can be maintained for the time you have selected.
4.Pedal away; reading a book, listening to the radio, watching activities in the Old Gym, etc.

Remember: it it easy to overestimate your capabilities start slowly and build up. Talk to Centre staff about how to use and how long to use the exercycles.

Be regular and pedal at least three times a week, if not daily. For the average person, fifteen to twenty minutes thrice weekly is adequate over a long term programme.

The exercycle is useful as:
  • an enjoyable form of weather-independent exercise
  • a means to developing an efficient heart-lung system
  • a way of repairing damaged knee joints, ankles or achilles tendons
  • a substitute exercise for running if you have back problems
  • a warm-up procedure before a game

Answers to Quiz No. 6

Yet again, the free Sauna has yet to be claimed. No one was able to produce an example of a classic fourteen-line sonnet, written in iambic pentameter, on the delights of any form of physical recreation. People must, obviously, have far too much academic work to do.
