Welcome to our new and improved weekly newsletter The Corner’s Core News - Member’s Edition,

What’s inside…

  • The launch of a new newsletter delivery method

  • Member events, Macmillan, Starlight and Christmas

  • Chair Pilates is now live

  • Another new instructor

  • Farewell to a team member

The eagle eyed amongst you may have noticed that today’s email has come from a different email address to our usual one. This is because I have been working hard behind the scenes to set up a new way to deliver our email newsletters that has more functionality. You won’t see too many differences just yet, but as I get used to the new system you’ll start to see fancy new upgrades to your weekly newsletter.

The other benefit of this new newsletter delivery method, is I can now easily archive all of our previous newsletters. You can find these by visiting our newsletter content page here, you will just need to enter your email address that this email was sent to view past emails and click on Sign In. Then click on Send Magic Link.

To get past this page click on Sign In and on the next page click Send Magic Link

Once you’re inside, you will be able to search by keyword if there’s a particular item you are looking to revisit, select a tag of a relevant topic or just by clicking on each individual email if you want to catch on any that you missed!

This newsletter has been named The Corner’s Core News - Member’s Edition. There will (in the near future) be a Corner’s Core News that will go out to non-members on a weekly basis that you will also be able to subscribe to if you wish, or you can share it with any friends/family members that you think would benefit from hearing from us.

Member Events

Macmillan Coffee Morning

As you’re probably now aware - if you’re not where have you been? We have our annual Macmillan Coffee Morning this coming Friday, 4th October. Register on Momence to let us know if you intend to come along so we know to expect you, (you are obviously still very welcome to attend even without registering!)

Doors to the studio will be open from 12:30-3:30pm and there will be tea, coffee and a vast selection of homemade cakes for you to come and enjoy. Please do bring family members and friends with you, the more the merrier. Of course this is a fundraising event so please also bring some money to donate in exchange for cake, if you can’t make it in person you can also donate via our justgiving link or cash can be donated in the box that will be in the reception area at the studio over the next couple of weeks. (If you bring cash, please remember to complete the gift aid form next to the donation box if you are eligible).

For those of you making cakes for us please bring them to the studio prior to the event either on Thursday (9:15am-2pm or 5:30-8:30pm) or on Friday morning from 8:30am. Please let us know in advance if your cakes contain nuts or gluten free/vegan for example as we will make labels.

V.IMPORTANT please label any containers that you deliver the cakes in so they can be easily returned to you.

Chair Pilates

We had our first Chair Pilates Workshop last Thursday which was a great success, this gentle chair based class will now become a regular slot on the timetable - Please note this is a specialist class and will not be bookable with your membership credits (just incase you were thinking of trying it out!). If you know of anyone that may be interested in attending the class or a future workshop, please ask them to call us on 01462 226 554 or email [email protected]

Instructor Introduction

This brings me on to introduce another new member of our teaching team Inbal…

Inbal has been a private client of Emma’s since the Baldock studio opened in 2021 and has extensive experience doing pilates in many countries, she will be a fantastic addition to the team. Over the next few months Inbal will be mainly teaching the Chair Pilates Classes, and in future some other specialised classes focusing on clients with hyper-mobility and EDS. Some of you have met her already but I’m sure you’ll all give your usual warm welcome to her when you see her around the studio.

Team member farewell

In less happy news, we are having to say goodbye to my wonderful assistant and Member expert Lauren, sadly her life has taken her in another direction (to Norfolk) where her other work commitments no longer allow enough free time to continue her role.

Until I find a replacement for Lauren I appreciate your patience if some of the less urgent membership queries take a little longer than usual to be resolved.

That's all for this week, see you next Tuesday!

P.S. I know I said I’d be telling you about how you can get a free studio t-shirt this week, but I’m aware this email is already rather long, so I’m going to keep you hanging on for another week I’m afraid.
