February 2007
I would like to start this month’s newsletter by thanking all members and non-members who kindly sent a text, card, flowers or indeed any other gift to ‘The Bulzis household’ in celebration of the arrival of Liliana. We were astounded by the number of cards, presents, flowers - it really was a kind gesture. As you can imagine, Louise and I are extremely proud parents and of course little Liliana continues to remind us that she will remain the centre of attention for the next number of years; she generally does this through the night!
As a ‘modern man!’ Yes, I was at the birth. Well, what can I say, but, ‘we’re not worthy’ it was like watching the toughest most grueling marathon on the hottest day of the year and then doing it again and again! Don’t mean to put you off Gill and Laura (expectant mums). Louise was fantastic and we’re both delighted. On the positive side the whole labour experience enabled me to understand actually how much stronger women are. So, step attendees, my clients, beware, if you’ve had children your training is about to increase! For the simple reason, I know you can do it.
Finally, a big thank you once again for all your gifts especially to whoever arranged the members’ gifts. Liliana should be taking step in a few years time however, in the meantime should be visiting Malmesbury in the next few weeks; she’s very excited to meet you all!
Up and coming Events
Andy’s introduction to Tai Chi have proved successful and has led to the inception of a new class beginning Monday March 5th from 1 – 2.

Robert Maclachlan has been doing a fantastic job in developing our website, click on www.focusonfitness.uk.com . The site will slowly become full of useful information. This is your club and your site so please tell us what would be useful. Thank you Robert.
Gill Webb and Laura Crago, both over 30 weeks into their pregnancy are maintaining a regular exercise programme and looking FANTASTIC. A great advert for exercise during pregnancy. Good luck with the births!
Congratulations to Christine and Robert Maclachlan on the birth of their second grandson.
Mike Roberts has made wonderful progress getting back into his fitness programme following a broken leg last year, well done Mike.
Celia Rose surprised herself during her calorie busting programme, well done Celia for really going for it!
Tracey Osborne has also experienced a positive month using lots of the different methods of exercise.
A big thank you to all for the good wishes at my joining the Focus on Fitness team. Having been a member for seven years the whole concept of what the club offers helped me in my decision to change career. My official training qualification begins on March 28th, I think I’m excited about it! Perhaps a little nervous. Thanks to the members who have taken part in the calorie-busting programme, you did fantastically well.
We thought we should mention the increased attendance, it truly has been a phenomenal month. The team think it is primarily as a result of Ric’s absence! No comment. Yes, we know most people get the bit between their teeth in January, but we felt you all deserved a well done, keep it up.
We would like to welcome our new members for the month of January. They are Ian Wigmore, Brian O’Donell, Margaret Toogood, Jane Anderson, Phillipa Dickinson, Linda Heron, Ronald Kavuria and finally Karen Pyman joins her husband as a member; we wish you all the best in achieving your desired goals and will do all we can to help. If in doubt please shout!
Denise Billinghurst – A wonderful start to the new year, working on every aspect of health fitness and wellbeing, Tai Chi, Yoga, gym training as well as Pilates, brilliant!
Norma Shale – A recent new member who has shown fantastic commitment within a ‘new’ environment. Well done Norma.
