Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
Subscribing membership fell during 24/25 from 79 t0 71 (-10%) but atendances increased from 4476 to 4856 (+8.5%). Members are making more efcient use of their subscriptons. During the year we experimented with circuit training sessions on one evening a week. While there was a core of actve partcipants (approximately 10per session)the experiment failed for two |
| reasons – our instructor found the additonal workload to be unsustainable and the charging system applied meant that the sessions ran at a loss. We intend to reintroduce the sessions when we can fnd an instructor able to take them on, using a diferent charging mechanism designed to make them self-funding. |
