Therefore no buddy system hours during the daytime, and no supervised session or Boxercise in the evening.
We'll keep you posted about Wednesday, Cxx

Hi folks - Kirsty from the Council here at just before 2:00pm on 5 January with a quick - and I'm sure much anticipated - update for you on the schools, nurseries, Orkney College UHI Orkney and Papdale Halls of Residence

Due to ongoing weather and road conditions the decision has been taken to keep all nurseries and schools in Orkney closed tomorrow to staff and pupils. This decision includes the closure of UHI Orkney to staff and students.

A decision on whether we can reopen on Wednesday will be taken by 3:00pm tomorrow (Tuesday) and further updates provided then.

Sports and Leisure facilities - including swimming pools, healthy living centres, pitches, the Stromness and Kirkwall community centres and the St Magnus Centre Café - will also be closed. St Magnus Cathedral is open

The earliest that Papdale Halls of Residence will open - due to the weather and staffing shortages - is Thursday. We will keep families updated on the situation.

The OIC are closing their facilities tomorrow; this includes the schools and all of their sports & leisure facilities.
Therefore tomorrow, Monday January 5th, there will be no buddy hours, no evening gym sessions, or Fatburn Extreme.
Hopefully we'll see you on Tuesday. Stay safe, Cxx

We hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year.

Due to the snowy conditions we've made the decision not to open the gym at 4pm today.

We'll see you on Monday for the buddy hours (9am - 4pm), the supervised gym session (6.30pm - 8.30pm), or Fatburn Extreme (7.15pm - 7.45pm).

Take care, Cxx
