Win a jar of Easter Eggs

Want to win a big jar of Easter Eggs for you and your flatties this Easter? We’ve got you!  All you have to do to enter is….guess how many eggs (and bunnies) are in the jar?  

Easter Egg Prize Jar

Where’s the jar? 

At the RecCentre! Yeah, you knew there was a catch.    

To enter you’ll need to:

  1. Pop down to the RecCentre and put in your guess 
  2. You’ll need to have a current membership (it’s free) to come through the gates, and then make your guess on the old school piece of paper 
  3. You can make one guess/entry every time you visit between now and Wednesday 27th March , 2024. 1 entry  per member, per visit, per day.    
  4. We’ll make the draw on Thursday 28th March, and we’ll give you a call to let you know to come and collect.  

Do you have to work out when you get here?
No, you don’t, hopefully you’ve walked, and that can be considered a ‘health walk’ in our books.  Not everything needs to be a sweat sesh to bring you health benefits after all! There’s even health benefits in chocolate, in moderation of course, which is why we suggest sharing your prize with your flatties (but you know, you do you!) 

 Joining the RecCentre is easy and it’s free! 

As a UC Student, part of your fees includes a student levy.  This levy goes towards a range of services on campus, including your RecCentre membership.  So yes, you can join any gym you like, but there’s no additional cost to join ours as well – having an option on campus may just make it easier to get in some exercise!   All group fitness classes are included in your membership, you can shoot hoops, do some bouldering, do some weights or cardio, or play some sport. We have a range of Discovery classes and sessions to help get you started as well. 

Good luck with the last couple of weeks, we know there’s a flurry of tests and essays to get through! See you soon!
