Good afternoon,

We hope everyone has been keeping well over the past 6 months, we were just getting ready to communicate some really positive news with you all about restarting some of the IWIT sessions until further restrictions were placed on the country again. We are however happy to be able to share with you some positive news, over the following weeks we will be offering some of your favourite sessions virtually, they will also be completely free of charge.

Good morning,

Firstly on behalf of Life Leisure and the Active Communities team I hope you are staying safe, staying well and are well supported through your community, families and friends during these unprecedented times.

Our Life Leisure sites are currently going through a phased reopening and this affects the restart of both I Wish I’d Tried (IWIT) and SMILE sessions no matter where they take place. Our main member of staff who manages these sessions is currently furloughed and we are working hard to bring members of our team back to plan out how we’ll resume and above all adhere to government guidelines with safety measures put in place.

We are working as hard as possible and hopeful that we can aim to restart a number of IWIT and SMILE sessions in Autumn/Winter however we do not have a specific date set and depending on further guidance, this may be later. Some of the IWIT sessions are dependent on National Governing Body guidance too (such as Walking Football and Walking Netball).

We apologise that we cannot provide a clearer answer at the time being and we hope you can keep an eye out here for more news regarding sessions under the IWIT and SMILE programmes.

Our team members cannot wait to see participants again and we hope to see you soon!

Best wishes,
The Active Communities Team.

Change in Opening Hours – Dialstone

From Monday 6th April, Life Leisure Dialstone will be working on reduced opening hours during the week due to a reduction in staffing hours and low usage during the daytime. The building will continue to be open between 4pm – 10pm Monday to Friday and all existing daytime usage (including I Wish I’d Tried) will be re-provided at other Life Leisure centres from this date. Mini Movers and weekend bookings will not be affected. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

To minimise disruption on the I Wish I’d Tried programme, from Monday 6th April the following sessions will move to Life Leisure Brinnington Park:

• Monday: over 50’s badminton, 10.30am – 12.30pm
• Monday: Over 50’s keep fit, 11am – 12pm
• Tuesday: Bat & Chat Table Tennis, 10am – 11am
• Wednesday: Walking Hockey, 11am – 12pm
• Thursday: over 50’s keep fit (ladies only), 9.30am – 10.30am
• Thursday: Walking football, 10am – 11am
• Thursday: Walking netball, 11am – 12pm
• Friday: Bat & Chat, 1pm – 2pm

Members of the sport development team will be at sessions next week to discuss the transition with participants and provide additional information. We appreciate that some users may not like the change of venue but unfortunately, due to funding cuts, Life Leisure Dialstone will no longer be open to the public during the daytime.

A updated timetable will be posted on the Life Leisure website and I Wish I’d Tried page.
