Leisure Weekends |

Hopefully these details will
answer all your questions allowing you to book your place more
easily, but please do
email or ring me if you have any further
queries.
These weekends are a natural
extension to your weekly classes giving you the chance to take exercise,
apparatus and dance classes
with many different teachers. Whilst the actual exercise programmes vary in each hotel, you will get to
choose between a great variety of exercise experiences.
All the weekends are based in
superb hotels, please access individual details/links are included in this site
to familiarise yourself with the hotel's facilities. They all have
full leisure suites including indoor swimming pools and sauna, most also have
steam rooms and a Jacuzzi.
These weekends are specifically
run for current class or Association members of the Fitness League. However, if
you wish to bring a non-member with you they must first join TFL. In this
event, please join them with your own teacher before coming.
A donation is sent to The
Fitness League from each weekend.
You can arrive anytime on the
Friday (the hotel will store your luggage if needed) but your rooms are not
usually ready until early afternoon. Because of the locations of the hotels,
many members spend Friday either shopping or sightseeing.
The weekends are booked on a
"full-board" basis. In all hotels there, see venues for individual
details to familiarise yourself with their facilities. Each hotel has a different mix of rooms,
some have
triples, but mostly we use twin rooms. Singles are available for a small
supplement but as they are limited they are sold on a "first come" basis. All
accommodation is en-suite.
We start the weekend's activities
with Friday evening dinner, then dance with a 'live' Ceilidh or Folk dance
band complete with caller. This type of dance is great fun, and allows us all to
meet up with each other, the perfect
start to the weekend.
After breakfast on Saturday we
start our programme of classes. You will receive a letter with the programme and
final details, two or three weeks before each weekend. This gives you the chance
to pre-plan and choose what you want to do before you arrive. Whilst some
members do partake of every available class, many use the weekends to socialise
and relax with other League members. We break for
morning coffee and have a buffet lunch. More classes on offer in the afternoon
(with a break for tea).
After dinner on Saturday there is
a social evening with party games or a 'live' cabaret, party dances or 'disco'.
On Sunday more classes and the weekend finishes with a Roast Lunch.
It is possible to extend your
stay, some members enjoy adding extra days onto their weekend. Members
travelling by public transport often find Sunday travel quite difficult, so
choose to stay until Monday. Details of extra nights and other relevant
information is sent to everyone booked in three months before your weekend.
