The Month we forgot our cameras!
June was such a fun month at Spark Life that we don't actually have many pictures to show you from it! But you always know you're having a good time in the moment when you forget your cameras exist right? Or does that just show our age?!
Social Spark Walk
The beautiful weather gave us the perfect opportunity to get out for a long walk around Entwhistle Reservoir. This flat, 4k route provided the perfect terrain and scenery and our members, the perfect company in which to do it! At the end, we had a fabulous pub lunch at the Strawberry Duck. Mmmmmm.
Spark Sip and Craft
A year on from our last Sip and Paint event and we're wondering why we left it so long to do another one! This time around, our Spark members and their friends joined us to create block printing with some optional embroidery for those who were feeling particularly adventurous!
We made bags, purses, cushion covers and much more. And you know what? The best thing about the whole evening is that everyone created something they were proud of. Despite many people feeling a little hesitant at their 'creative abilities' at the start. It was a great example of how when we let ourselves go and allow our creativity to just shine, we can create amazing things!
Needless to say, we realised after the event that we had been so immersed in the joy and creativity of the evening that we hadn't taken a single picture, so the outcomes shall remain a secret forever more... what happens at Spark, stays at Spark (even if not intentionally!).
Book Club and Communi-tea
Our monthly book clubs and Communi-teas also continued with full vigour this month and it was lovely to see everyone again. Both are a great opportunity for us all to catch up and just have a really good natter. No expectations, no charge, just drop in, eat cake (or in this month's case, ice lolly's) and have a good natter! Keep an eye out on our socials for our July dates.
Celebrating Strong Women!
Strong Woman Club grew to our biggest yet in June as we welcomed 6 new strong women into the club! And, we started a new programme (presses are out, squats are in) which meant we also celebrated PB week!
Well done to every single one of our strong women who all lifted a personal best in the overhead press! In true Spark style, this resulted in some fun comparisons of how much people had lifted including one golden retriever, 2 French bulldogs, a Giant Pacific Octopus, a capybara and a boa constrictor! I'm just glad that all those animals were not actually in the studio... particularly at the same time!
We can't wait to see what our strong women squat in this programme! But, as festival time is upon us, we're pretty sure the most important skill development that will come out of this month's programme is the trusty squat hold!
What next?
We've more to come as we head into July! Book Club, Communi-tea will be back at the end of this month!
We're all very excited about our second Supper Club at one of Prestwich's favourite restaurants, Anatolian Grill.
Plus, we're adding a new session time to Strong Woman Club. Monday 5.3opm starts on 13th July. So, if you've been thinking 'if only there was a Monday evening session time', we've got you covered! Why not give our Strong Woman Club Experience a try and get 30 days of SWC and classes for just £49?!
