Nelson Mandela in Brixton

Nelson Mandela visited Brixton on 12th July 1996 at his personal request. Were you there? We'd love to hear your personal story.

The streets were alive with thousands of people to welcome him and the Rec hosted a concert with local choirs and performers.

BRUG, together with Brixton Blog & Bugle and Urban 75, are preparing a tribute to this visit. Were you there? Or do you know anyone who was?

Share your memories or any photos you may have via:

Or you can leave a message in our box on the BRUG noticeboard, on Level 3 of the Brixton Rec, outside wet change rooms.

Notice Board

I am just off to paste this notice on the BRUG notice board and then have a swim. 

The photograph was taken at around 7 am. February 2013. It was really packed that day but, I had told the photographer to avoid people, so that is why it looks so quiet!

Our BRUG Survey is going well

The Brixton Recreation Centre User Group has been collecting views on The Brixton Rec to help us improve the facilities for everyone. 

Here are the results of our survey Brug Survey 2013

We have been sitting inside the rec and getting adults and children to fill in our survey. We have had an amazing response. It seems people really love the place.

Some of the children have also drawn us lovely pictures of the things they like doing best.

If you want to fill in our survey, someone should be around at the following times:

Week starting April 8th. Mon: 6-8pm, Tues: 2-4pm, Wed. 6-8pm, Thurs. 4-6pm.











Or you can fill the survey out online at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/XRVRXXR if you haven't already filled out the hard copy one.











We'd really appreciate if everyone could take just a few minutes to fill out the short survey.











Many thanks!

All user meeting – a date for your diary

To have your say, join us at the BRUG meeting on Wednesday 27th May, 6-8pm in the Rec Conference Suite, Level 5.

Lambeth council especially wants to encourage groups of people who would
particularly benefit from being more physically active.

Here's what BRUG thinks:

High Pay-As-You-Go prices for classes and facilities will put people off.
Disability access is a big factor for other people.
These voices should be heard and have an influence
as the Rec is being refurbished.

Here are some things people have said to us before:

"It costs too much - £6.20 for me and my two year old
grandchild to have a swim."
"Me? Do dance classes?!"
"My GP referred me - I would never have gone otherwise."
"I'm overweight. I'd be too embarrassed.
I'd come with a friend"
"I can't swim properly."
"Gyms are for fit people"

Please contact Robyn Dasey, BRUG Secretary, via email recusergroup@btinternet.com
