Today was our final morning at the Body Builders gym! The Abs, Biceps and Quads raced through the front door to make the most of their last opportunity to win some points for their team. However, before we could begin, it was time to hear the final scores from yesterday.
Wendy brought forward the sealed envelope, and Julia announced that the Biceps had come in third with 279 points, the Abs had come in second with 356 points, and taking first place with a humongous 399 points was the Quads! The total scores so far placed Biceps in third place, Abs in second and Quads in first, but, there were still plenty of points to be won!
Julia introduced to the stage our two stunning work-out instructors, Emily and Hannah, and our young athletes jumped to their feet before they were even asked! Today, our memories were put to the test as we warmed up using the dance moves we learned yesterday, with the addition of a few silly ones, too! After the work-out, Emily and Hannah proved they had the fitness to match the physique by joining Kate up at the front to lead some actions, singing the Body Builders theme song and ‘Great great brill brill!’
Today’s Fun Run was another game of teamwork and skill as the Abs, Biceps and Quads lined up across the hall. Balls, beanbags and cuddly toys were passed between our competitors legs, collected in a hoop at one end and then passed all the way back again. The gym was filled with shouts of instruction and encouragement, and not a few balls and beanbags were swapped between teams in the mayhem! 
The time had arrived for our next instalment of the Body Builders Gym Soap Opera! After Tracey and Richard had accidently kissed Doris, hid behind the desk and got absolutely no cleaning done, Brad finally made his apologies to the gang for the wrong things he’d done. However, after leaving Doris all alone, the gym was still a mess and all seemed to be lost. That is, until our mysterious stranger appeared! Doris learnt that all she needed to do was ask for help, and with a little bit of music, Doris and the mysterious woman got down to some serious cleaning! Will all be ready for the inspection this evening? We’ll find out at our special Holiday Club Finale tonight!
Sports instructor Stuart took to the stage next, and explained that today’s gym activities would be a madcap relay rotation of four minutes at each station! Abs, Biceps and Quads competed within their own teams, playing relays with Mary, target practice with Wendy and memory pairs with Hannah. Armed with a very loud horn, Stuart made sure that our disciplined athletes were constantly
on the move!
Diane was our story-teller today, and she told us about a blind beggar who asked Jesus for help. To illustrate the scene, we made a long road down the middle of the gym, and Diane led five volunteers blindfolded behind her. The five blind men said they were scared and anxious 
whilst they were blindfolded, and Diane explained that for the blind beggar, there was no hope of a job, home or happiness. When Jesus performed the miracle of restoring his sight, Diane told us that the man’s life was restored as well, and if we ask Jesus for help, and call out his name, he can give us life, too!
After the story our teams returned to their tables for some arts and crafts, and this time we were doing something completely different! Today’s activity was making fish key-rings by threading pipe cleaner with coloured beads, and Julia explained that the fish is a sign of being a follower of Jesus. There seemed to be some very intricate colour schemes going on, and the end results were bright, colourful and beautiful!
The time had come for our final songs, and today our young gym trainers turned their backs on the words without any hesitation, singing their hearts out and performing enthusiastic actions for the parents coming in through the front door. The atmosphere was electric, and with many promises all round of returning this evening, you’ll have to watch this space for a report of tonight’s fun at the Body Builder’s Gym!
