Bracknell

Bracknell Forest Borough Council's leisure services are running a competition to encourage people who struggle to find the time or the will power to take regular exercise or learn about the world around them.

No More Bracknell MayBes is designed to help motivate residents to start a new leisure activity - whether it is discovering more about the world we live in, going along once a week to an aquarobics session or visiting the gym before work every morning.

To enter, fill in a No More MayBes postcard with a leisure ambition or goal, and how the campaign can help you get started. It could be anything from wanting to keep up with the kids on their bikes, finding out about how the body works, to running next year’s London Marathon. The competition has three categories: school and voluntary groups, businesses and individuals; and the prizes include free visits to Council-run leisure attractions, golf lessons and three month membership of Bracknell Leisure Centre.

To give a helping hand, Bracknell Forest’s leisure facilities are also promoting a range of incentives for users signing up for visits, courses and coaching. And, if you need advice and support, there is always someone there to help you decide what type of activity would be best for you and to advise you on how to get started.

Kevin Biles, Bracknell Leisure Centre’s business development manager, said: We’ve made it really easy for people to enter the competition and we are encouraging everyone to have a go.

"You can send us your entry on a postcard, which you can find around Bracknell Forest or you can pick one up from any leisure facility.”

Cllr Iain McCracken, Executive Member for Leisure and Corporate Services, said: "Bracknell Forest has a superb range of facilities which can help residents achieve their goals.

"And now summer has arrived it is the perfect time to start that healthier lifestyle."

All entries should be completed and returned to one of the specified addresses by Friday, June 30. Children can enter on behalf of their class or group, while the business category is aimed at work colleagues who have been planning to start a group leisure activity.
