�Coming Events
February is shaping up to be a very busy month for the club, with many social events. There is the Hair and Beauty Evening, the Valentines Ball and The Holbrook Fashion Show. There is also a new fitness suite challenge! Read on to find out more details.
Valentine�s Ball � 14th February (Tickets �15)
Due to the success of our last social gathering the Christmas Party, we have decided to follow a similar format for a Valentines Ball. Playing live will be �Smart Suite�, who are a fantastic jazz quartet, who will be playing throughout the evening.
So if you fancy a fun romantic evening, then come and join us. Tickets are available from the Club reception.
Our current emphasis is trying to get everyone to fill in their �Enjoyment Factor�; this is the section at the bottom of the card. It may not look much, but it is a very important indictor to us. So please begin to fill in this section of the card because we are looking, we want to make sure you are enjoying your workout.
Any queries about anything with your programme card then do no hesitate to talk to any of the fitness consultants.
Our first fitness suite challenge of the year will begin on 1st February. Devised by Steve and Martin they have created a route from Holbrook to Paris. The challenge is to run to Dover, row across the Channel and then cycle to Paris. Not in reality of course! But to do the equivalent in the fitness suite. It defiantly is a challenge and I�m looking forward to seeing who actually gets there first.
The winning team will receive a 50% discount off the Easter Ball, on April 3rd. There is an individual prize, which is a selection of fine French wines, chosen by Renaud Lecerf, the restaurant manager.
More details will be on the gym notice boards in the coming weeks � so look out.
Through out February we will be offering 2 for 1 on our Membership Joining Fee. That means that two singles joining at the same time will only pay the usual �90.00 fee between them! Couples joining together will also have their fee reduced to �90.00 the single rate. If you would like any further information please ask Charlotte or Darren.
From the 1st February the Health and Beauty Department are introducing their very own reward scheme to say thank you for your continued support.
All customers will receive an appointment card that can hold 10 appointments.� For every 5th visit you will receive a �5 discount in voucher form, which may be used for that appointment or a future appointment.� For every 10th appointment you will receive a complimentary treatment to the value of �25 and entry into a quarterly draw to win a pamper package.� We will keep client record cards fully updated, but it is essential that you use the appointment card so that we can ensure you receive your gifts at the appropriate times.
When you have a Hair or Beauty treatment that you have enjoyed we would hope that you would recommend us to friends, family and colleagues!� For every person that you refer to us you will receive a �5 voucher to give to them.� When they have redeemed their voucher you will then receive a �5 voucher to use on yourself and be entered into a quarterly draw to win a pamper package.
Throughout the year we will be hosting Hair and Beauty demonstration evenings.� These are an opportunity for us to demonstrate new products, treatments and techniques in a relaxed and informal setting.� The first one of these will be held on Wednesday 11th February in the Somerset Room, Holbrook House Hotel.� The evening will commence at 7pm with the launch of our new Zen Spa Pedicure range, which combines Eastern philosophy and Western Technology and guarantees to treat mind, body and �sole�.� We will also be launching our new Anti-Ageing Hand Treatment, Anita and Tori our Hair Stylists will be giving a colouring demonstration and Michelle Collins, our Holistic Health Practitioner, will be talking about the benefits of Reiki, Bowen Technique and Hypnotherapy.� With wine and canap�s, a free prize draw, goody bags and special promotions � what more can you ask for?� Tickets are �5 and are available from reception.
The Holbrook Fashion Show that was due to be held in December 2003 has now been rescheduled for Friday 20th February 2004.� This is being held in conjunction with �Retail Therapy� in Castle Cary and prize draw proceeds will go to the Dorset Air Ambulance.� The evening will commence at 7pm in the Holbrook Suite and tickets are available at reception for �7.50, so please come along and take part in what promises to be a fantastic evening.

Valentines Day is fast approaching.� Don�t get it in the neck this year, plan ahead.� Vouchers are available for Hair and Beauty treatments, products and pamper packages.
Classes are now free for members and we will gladly refund any class sessions brought recently and that are now void. To receive your refund we would be grateful if you could hand in your class card, your refund will then be sent to you in the post. Thank you for your co-operation.
Steve, the class instructors and I are working hard to redevelop the class timetable to make it more appealing by finding classes that you want to do and to put them on when you want them. We hope to have this done by the end of the month.
In order for us to offer you the right timetable we would value your comments, so please do not hesitate to speak to Steve or myself on this issue.�
We are also beginning a class �dedication award� scheme. To become involved in this promotion we would ask that you sign in with your instructor before the beginning of the class. This is with the exception of Aquafit where you are signed in at reception.
For every ten classes you attend we will give you a 7-day guest pass.
Coming Soon�..
One final announcement, I would like to welcome our new Membership Advisor, Charlotte Higson, who was previously a member at the club. Many of you may know her already, but it is great to have her on the team and I�m really looking forward to the coming months as she has a plethora of knowledge in sales.
Happy New Year from everyone here at Spa Holbrook and we are all looking forward to seeing you again in the near future.
