TEXT A — Bank Holiday Notice — Riverdon Community Leisure Centre Please note the following changes to our normal opening hours over the late-summer bank holiday weekend (Saturday 24 to Monday 26 August). Saturday 24 August: The building will run to its usual weekend schedule, 07:00 to 21:00. The swimming pool, however, closes early at 18:00 so that our maintenance team can carry out the annual deep clean of the filtration tanks. All other facilities remain available until the building shuts. Sunday 25 August: Reduced hours apply. The centre opens at 09:00 and closes at 17:00. The gym and studios are open as normal, but no fitness classes are timetabled. The creche is closed for the whole day. Monday 26 August (Bank Holiday): The centre is completely closed. No pre-booked sessions can go ahead, and any classes you have reserved for this date will be moved automatically to the same time the following week. There is no need to contact reception. Members wishing to freeze their membership over the holiday may do so free of charge for up to two weeks; simply complete the form available at the front desk before Friday 23 August. Normal opening resumes on Tuesday 27 August at 06:30. We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding. ———————————— TEXT B — Advertisement — Meadowbrook Garden Centre: Autumn Late-Opening Weekends Make the most of the cooler days! Throughout September, Meadowbrook Garden Centre is staying open later every Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening, right up until 20:00, so you can shop after work without the weekend crowds. Our glasshouse cafe keeps the same late hours and will be serving a special autumn menu — think warming soups, home-baked scones and locally roasted coffee. Children under five eat free when accompanied by a paying adult. Every late-opening evening we run a free half-hour talk in the potting shed at 18:30. Topics rotate weekly and have included planting spring bulbs, protecting tender plants from the first frosts, and choosing trees for small gardens. No booking is required, but seating is limited to thirty, so do arrive in good time. Bring this advertisement with you to claim ten per cent off any single purchase of compost or bulbs. The discount cannot be combined with our loyalty-card points and excludes items already reduced in our end-of-season sale. Please be aware that the outdoor plant yard closes fifteen minutes before the main building to allow staff to secure the gates. Late opening does not apply on Sundays, when we keep to our usual 10:00 to 16:00 hours. ———————————— TEXT C — Information Leaflet — Kingsforth Household Waste Site: Festive Period The recycling centre on Marsh Lane will operate an amended timetable over the Christmas and New Year period. Please read the details below before travelling, as journeys made on closed days cannot be accommodated. The site will be shut on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day. On Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve it will close at 13:00 instead of the usual 17:00. On all other days between 23 December and 2 January the centre keeps to its winter hours of 09:00 to 16:00. Garden waste collections from the kerbside are suspended entirely from 21 December and will restart in the week beginning 6 January. Your food and general rubbish bins will still be emptied, but on revised days: the collection normally due on a Thursday will instead take place on the following Saturday during the two weeks affected. Large quantities of cardboard from gifts are welcome, but please flatten every box before you arrive so that our containers do not fill prematurely. Real Christmas trees can be dropped off free of charge at the dedicated bay near the entrance until 31 January, after which the bay is removed. Please do not leave trees or bags outside the gates when the site is closed, as this is classed as fly-tipping and may lead to a fine.
