David Lloyd

Martin White, Nottingham's Lead Coach, recently returned from Finland after competing in the World Masters Athletic Championships.

Martin placed a very creditable sixth in the 200 metres final in a season's best time, despite carrying a niggling calf injury.

Martin's passion is athletics and he braves the winter weather religiously twice a week as a coach at Mansfield AC.

Congratulations to Martin once again.

Huge thanks to Daryl Lewis, our resident Squash Professional, who has motivated, guided and encouraged our Men's premier team to the title of Nottinghamshire Squash Premier League Champions.

The final and deciding game of the season was against Nottingham University students. The University took a one point lead going into the match, which meant that whichever team won through would clinch the title. Suffice to say that David Lloyd Nottingham won 4-1.

The County Cup is currently being played, with the Finals on 13th May at Nottingham Squash Club.

Hopefully we can do the double.

Bradley is currently nine years-old and competing for the County at swimming, as well as being part of the development squad for the County.

He started learning to swim with Nicky aged two and a half, and under her guidance and support progressed to the point where aged seven he completed a four-mile swim at David Lloyd Nottingham. Nicky in her own time offered motivation and encouragement, while lap counting Bradley over this long-distance swim, which raised over £1,000 for charity.

I would like to commend Nicky for not only giving Bradley a valuable life skill learnt in a fun and enriching environment, but also for the fact that his development is such that he is at a high performance level.

For this we are very much indebted to Nicky – a great Swimming Instructor and co-ordinator of a fabulous Swimming programme.

If you would like to know more about the Swimming programme, please leave your details at Reception and Nicky will get straight back to you.

Satu is our Lose & Shape Up course tutor and a Personal Trainer at the Club.

Satu is a relatively new team member, having been employed in late 2011.

Such is the impact she has had on Members through the Lose & Shape Up course and Personal Training, in a relatively short space of time, it ensured that the collective Management decision to award her "Team Member of the Quarter" was relatively easy.

This decision was based primarily on the volume of great feedback Satu has received from Members in her capacity as a Personal Trainer and Lose & Shape Up course tutor.

Secondly, the decision was also influenced by the fantastic results achieved by the Members attending the latest Lose & Shape Up course, and the fact that to a man (and woman), all Members signed up for a second course.

This is due to Satu's empathy, knowledge and powers of motivation.

Well done Satu.
