DISC's final session of the year will be Xmas themed - with xmas refreshments, music and activities. Feel free to come in festive clothes* and hats! We will also be saying goodbye and thank you to our lovely trampolining coach, Hannah, who is planning to go travelling in the New Year. Hopefully she will come back and visit us.

Also, we hope to give out a number of certificates to our members, who have made brilliant progress in swimming, trampolining and archery. Plus huge congratulations to our volunteer, Chris, who has just passed his Level 1 Badminton Coach course!!! Well done everyone!!

DISC starts back in the New Year on Sunday 8th June, 4-5pm for a swimming session with the Giant Inflatable** in the pool! Great way to start the year!

MERRY XMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM DISC!

( *but still suitable for sports activities - especially footwear/socks and leggings/trousers for trampolining

  ** for those who can swim ) 

Lovely to see so many members swimming and joining our sports sessions in October. This month we have had Judo, Tennis, Table Tennis, Trampolining, Hockey, mixed games (like curling and boccia) and ball skills. 

A few members have enjoyed the cross trainers, treadmills and rowing machines in the gym too.

We will be closed on October 23rd ( first weekend of Half Term) but will re-open on October 30th for swimming and the giant pool INFLATABLE!!!(swimmers only).

We look forward to seeing you here soon!! Here is a small sample of the activities from the last sports session:

We hope you had an enjoyable summer break and it has been lovely seeing everyone back at our first two sessions this year! We started back with swimming only, on 11th Sept and had a very lively sports/swim session on the 18th... with 21 families joining us for trampolining, ball skills, table tennis and Zumba before heading into the pool.

On the 18th, we also wished Bridget, our swimming coach a very loud and tuneful " Happy Birthday" . She has been with us for many years now, and has seen so many of our members progressing through the 1:1 lessons. We are very lucky to have her and we are very grateful that she continues to support our swimming programme.

Finally, over the past year many people have helped at DISC in many ways, and Councillor Roger Clarke has been instrumental in raising over £4,000 for DISC, as one of his nominated community group/charities. We invited him to come along and visit a session to meet people and see a sports session in action. (And partake of a coffee from the tea urn that he kindly donated...) Hopefully he will come back again soon!

ANYONE FOR TENNIS???

From 10-10:30am there is a session specifically for people with disabilities, or sensory impairments.

All of the sessions on the day should be fully inclusive regardless, but this particular one will be aimed at this particular target audience.

Sports sessions in May have been really well attended and we have welcomed a few new members and tried out some new sports....

From Bouncy Castles to Trampolining to Table tennis and a bit of target practice:

...Tchoukball was a lively success and we had a great time testing out the balls and nets and learning new skills !!
