The Recreation Centre

This is the Rec Centre where Mark works. He works Saturday 3-9pm behind the desk. He works with one other person and they spend their time checking for Shield (ID) cards, signing people in, passing them different gear for use in the centre and occassionly gets to play table tennis with a patron (to keep them happy 'apparently').
On Mondays and Thursdays he helps to run the 'Keep Fit' programme for 7-11 years olds. Anna-Marie, Rachel and Joel are able to attend this. It is a neat time and is a well planned out programme. The kids should 'Get Fit'. Mark has been asked to take the 15 minute devotions at the end of this hour and his first week was a great success.
On Tuesday he helps to run the 'Motor Skills Development' for the 3-6 year olds. This may prove to bit a little more challenging as some of the younger children want Mum to come back. Matthew is enrolled in this and was very excited about it. He really enjoyed his first week but wanted to be in Dad's group. He purposely was not put in Dad's group and he did still have a good time.
The Centre also has lots of other activities and a swimming pool which our children have been enjoying. It is really neat for the family that Mark works here and we have been going in on Saturdays, when we can, while he has been at work.
