Health & Fitness Survey – Summer 2025

You may have read in this month’s Walsham Observer that your village Sports Club is again looking to develop its sports, health & fitness facilities further. In particular it wishes to extend its very successful Fitness Gym to enable more individual & group exercise sessions, both instructor led & virtually, to be offered alongside its equipped fitness activity. It also is considering whether to provide 2 specialist courts for the new sport of Padel (a cross between squash & tennis) which is currently rapidly growing in popularity across the country.

This survey, which was last undertaken in 2022, seeks to refresh local residents’ information about how you, your family & your friends currently participate in sport, health & fitness as part of your everyday life. It also gives you an opportunity to show your support to the club’s plans & wants your ideas or suggestions on what you want more of or indeed what is missing locally?The survey is anonymous but if you wish to register your interest or be available for further comment/information, please provide a name, email/contact details at the end of the survey.
