Wellbeing gift for 90-year-old Maidstone Leisure Centre customer
Maidstone Leisure Centre has celebrated one of its longest-serving members, Betty West, by gifting her a free year’s membership to commemorate her 90th birthday.
Betty turned 90 in June and has been a member at the centre for over 25 years. She makes full use of her current membership, attending the centre’s Chi Ball, and Mind & Body Classes, as well as being a keen badminton player.
Donna Kavanagh, Deputy Contract Manager for Maidstone Leisure Trust, which manages the centre in partnership with Serco Leisure, said:
“Betty is an example to us all! We were delighted to gift her next year’s membership for free. It’s the least we could do for such a lovely lady and a valued customer of Maidstone Leisure Centre.
“We’re very proud of the range fitness and wellbeing sessions we offer at the centre, which provide local people like Mary with a place where they can stay active, socialise with friends and keep living life to the full.”
Betty was over the moon with her present. She told us: “I love it here! That’s why I’ve been coming for so long. The staff are always so helpful & friendly.
“It’s important to stay active, whatever age you are!”
Maidstone Leisure Centre is managed by the Maidstone Leisure Trust in partnership with Serco Leisure and on behalf of Maidstone Borough Council.
