As you all know our fantastic Kath is leaving for pastures new - which has left us all heartbroken. However we all know it is the right move for her.
I thought it would be a great idea to do a collection to allow us all to show our appreciation of the great love and care she has shown us all over the years.
If you'd like to give something, or leave a message on the message wall, follow this link: https://www.collectionpot.com/pot/3017635 . I'll put all the messages into a card for her.
This particular collection site allows us to give the money in cash so that Kath can spend it on something she really needs (or setting up the retreat so we can all continue to befit from her great skills :-)
A couple of tips for the collection:
1. Use a debit card rather than a credit card as you may be charged a cash advance fee with a credit card
2. Try a lower number than suggested for the site charges.
This site doesn’t charge for cash withdrawal as some of the others do.
Kath is planning a leaving do on Wednesday 28 September from 6pm in the Studio, so I will give her the card then. Hopefully lots of you can make it! It would be lovely to see you there. Kath will continue to run online classes and return to Leeds regularly but this will be the end of the Studio where we have been for a number of years!
If you are able to help with any aspect of the leaving do (decorating the studio, bringing food/cakes/drinks/plates/cutlery, helping with clearing/washing up) - please email me with your mobile number, and I’ll add you to the What’s App group where you can add how you can help. (I’ll be doing more work on this after the bank holiday weekend.)
If you have any questions contact me at jane.fontana@btinternet.com rather than Headingley Pilates so hopefully Kath doesn’t see the email. PLEASE DON'T REPLY TO THIS EMAIL OR KATH WILL SEE IT!

P.S. From Ian: for those of you who don't know Jane she is a very regular attendee at the Studio who competes in Triathlons for Great Britain and who manages to keep improving her personal best times!
