Hi everyone,
As we reach the end of another fantastic year, I wanted to share some highlights and celebrations from the last couple of months, and exciting plans for 2026!
🎉 SE Fitness Turns 30!
We’re thrilled to announce that SE Fitness celebrates its 30th Birthday in 2026!
We’ll be holding a special birthday party on Friday 12th June – full details will be sent in the New Year.
⭐ What We’ve Been Up To
Christmas Party – 28th November
Our Christmas party at Aston Wood Golf Club was a huge success! With fun party games and a brilliant atmosphere, many said it was our best party yet. The new venue was perfect, and we’ve already booked it again for next year; Save the date 3rd December!
Celebrating Our 10-Year Members
Congratulations to our incredible members celebrating 10 years with SE Fitness!
If you weren’t able to attend, you can collect your certificate and badge from your leader or after sessions on 20th December.
Santa Run – 7th December
Over 300 runners and walkers joined us in festive outfits for our annual Santa Run!
Together we raised more than £5,500 for Our Place Support and Acacia Family Support – two wonderful local charities.
