The sunshine seems to have disappeared, and it is a little cooler today. However, a spectacular summer is predicted, and I am very much looking forward to that.
Especially, as we had great success with our first session on our Ajani programme with SHP. It was our third commission with them, and we had 13 attendees, and lovely feedback. The whole morning seemed to go very well, and all joined in enthusiastically.
Being myself, I forgot to take a rota/register, and also failed to make sure all the paperwork was completed - so that is a task for next week. I also failed to inform everyone that the next session (tues) is at a different venue. We are using the London Irish Centre, and Ed Sheeran is apparently visiting next week so they are pushing all others out. Instead we are using a community centre in Belsize Park, and I have voiced concerns that people may not come because of that. We will wait and see.
We were encouraged that several said they will come to our fitness session on Saturday morning on Highbury Fields with PT Dean. It would be terrific to see that grow over the summer. It would certainly help with my own fitness goals. We also have two free visits to the local gym studio to use on the next two Mondays, and hopefully several will come to that. The gym itself sent a lovely tweet out about us.
We are meeting up with Islington Job Centres manager, Ian, on Friday to discuss the two Ajani programmes we want to run with them funded with the Lottery money when it arrives. We just need to find venues that wont charge us. I am also meeting Ingeus on Thursday to discuss a programme with them.
Finally, we have been sent a copy of the article about Izzwalkz which will feature in the next Islington magazine. It has a large photo of the group wearing boxing gloves, and it gives us a great write up. I am hopeful that more new people will come along and join us.
