HI all

Just letting you know to clarify any rumours, our wonderful Coach Amir has experienced a small set-back with his health. I went to see him today and he was walking around highly optimistic about returning.

Amir was sorry not to be able to be at the wrestling event last weekend to support our athletes.

Amir will be undergoing an operation, and the recovery may take a short time.

In the meantime, Club Physical has organized great alternative coaches to help out, keep you in shape and going forward.

Thanks again for your understanding.
Paul
