Another new instructor, a new form and still more cakes required

September 29, 2026•4 min read

Happy Tuesday,

Yes I'm aware my weekly emails are again sneaking into bi-weekly at the moment, but hopefully the lack on an email last week makes you all the more keen to read it this week!

Dianne is back from her trip to Montenegro with a new daughter-in-law, so she will be back teaching her regular classes again this week (phew).

Thank you to all the volunteers that stepped in as participants for our student assessments a couple of weekends ago, I hope you enjoyed the afternoon.

We had a 60% pass rate overall, one of whom is our very own studio member Tara King, who I'm delighted will be joining our instructor team, and will be teaching the Tuesday evening class from next Tuesday.

I've also had the pleasure of being asked to step in as Ambassador for the Entrepreneur Circle St Albans group that I've been attending for the last 2 years. This means I will be jointly responsible for running the monthly meetings and helping to support other business owners.

If you or someone you know runs a business that would be interested in finding out more about what Entrepreneur Circle is, drop me a message [email protected] (I can also give you a free month access to their membership).

With this being a fortnightly edition there is slightly more content than the weekly version, so grab a cuppa and read on for whats happening at The Pilates Corner this coming week & month.

October Event - A WEEK ON FRIDAY
MORE CAKES REQUIRED!

Thank you to those of you that have already volunteered to make a cake for our event next week.

We are still a little low on cakes compared to previous years.

Just to reassure you we are not looking for Bake Off Showstopper quality, just some home-made yummies.

Don't be shy if you have a family recipe or favourite traybake you would like to make that would be amazing. No shop bought cakes are required thanks.

We can take delivery of the cakes from Thursday afternoon, so if you are unable to attend we can still accept your cakes!

It's very easy to let us know what you're making, just click on the button below and fill in your details - remember to check the list that you're making something different to anyone else if possible.

If you would like to attend and enjoy the delicious (and hopefully plentiful) cakes and treats please register your interest below.

If you can't attend, nor a baker that doesn't stop you being able to get involved. You can still donate to the cause by clicking the button below or this link https://donate.justgiving.com/fundraising/cm26009967/donation-amount


New Health Form -
Required by all members

Over the course of the next few weeks you will be sent a request to complete a new (and updated) health questionnaire.

You'll be pleased to know I have made it more user friendly so you don't have to put NA in every box you don't have an answer for.

Just so we don't overwhelm Jo with loads of forms coming in at once, we will be doing it in batches.

It's really important that we have the most up to date details for you on file (and required for our insurance purposes too), so when you get the request please take 5 minutes to complete it.
