We’re launching a competition to find the best gym in the Stroud District. Since April 12, residents have been allowed to hit the gym after four months in lockdown but which facility is best to let out that pent-up energy, build fitness and release endorphins? We need your help finding the answer, with gyms fully open since May 17 and almost 90 per cent of people reporting they will use the gym the same amount or more than before lockdown, according to a Leisure-net survey. Until Thursday, June 3, you can vote for your favourite gym at tinyurl.com/beststroudgym, after which we will announce the top 10 gyms with the most votes.
A BIG cat warning sign has been posted on the gate by Nympsfield wind turbine. Gloucestershire Camera Club member Mandy Francis Shipway photographed the sign and the surrounding field and turbine while out walking yesterday. It is not clear who created and posted the sign. It reads: Warning Big Cats! Big cats have been seen in this area. It continues: Whilst big cats are not officially listed as animals which are native to the UK, it is widely accepted that there may be a small breeding population of these animals in the British wilderness. It ends with the advice: If you do encounter a big cat, try to stay calm and wave your arms above your head to make yourself appear as large as possible whilst making lots of noise to try and scare it away.
