Yes, all of this equipment is extremely expensive, and another probllem could come under insurance. In today's "claim everything" climate, the school would be wary of being sued for any injuries. sad isn't it.

It's especially sad consdering the school is a sports college so I hope they never are sued for sports related injuries. It just makes a mockery of the whole thing.

In my day we just had to make do with climbing up the monkey bars, danglng from ropes and leaping over vaulting horses. My favourite place was hanging upside down from the top of the wallbars. We used to sneak in and do that in the dinner hour but we'd get a rocket if any teachers found us.

Dunno who you are I'm afraid - looked at your profile, but doesnt hold any clues! I'll send you a PM.

Sports College?
Do they do any courses to do with sports? A-level in weightlifting or treadmills perhaps!

Different era Willow and different school then.. remember playing Pirates before a term break ??

I did notice myself the change in title and wondered about it .. would like to know the answer myself .. could be summat to do with money, grants, etc. ? Curious.

Does this mean that education is a nonstarter and the next generation of Olympic Champions are going to walk out of Moorhead? Fit, agile and the qualifications of a non attender ie none. As to why the sports centre I surmise that Moorhead cannot afford the tools to go with the new title.

Update on the trip to the Sports Centre from Mimi - she lost a whole 20 calories on one of the machines! She wondered why I didn't look suitably impressed

the excercise they should give them is clear up the mess they leave in the surrounding area
