👏 A huge well done to Ben Stancombe (Service Fitness Manager) and Steve Embleton (Service Membership Manager), who took on an incredible charity golf challenge at Dulwich and Sydenham Hill Golf Club —  4 rounds of golf back-to-back in support of Macmillan Cancer Support and Multi-Story Orchestra. 🎶

Thank you to Natalie Davie-Lane (Leisure Commercial Manager) and Marcus Seoane (Assistant Operations Manager) for putting in a guest appearance, stepping in for one round. 🙌

Members joined throughout the day to show their support, and a special thank you goes to Richard Barnard, Gentleman’s Captain at Dulwich Golf Club, for joining the team for a well-earned lunch. 😋

Together with Dulwich Golf Club members and friends, they raised an incredible £1,371.50 for Macmillan Cancer Support. 🤩

An outstanding achievement and a brilliant show of teamwork and community spirit. Well done to everyone involved. 👏

📌 Postural Power: Thank Your Lats Slouched over 📌 Postural Power: Thank Your Lats
Slouched over? Laptop posture? Your lats help stabilise your spine and shoulders. They’re essential for upright posture, especially when paired with glutes and core.

📏 Try this test: Stand tall, arms overhead. Feel the stretch? That’s your lats lengthening. Now try a lat pullover or banded stretch to mobilise and strengthen.
