Sir, – I cannot believe that Richmondshire Leisure Trust in its infinite wisdom has decided to dispense with the services of Colburn Sports Centre Manager Craig Nicholson.
Craig has been at the centre from day one. I have attended the gym since 2005 after a serious illness and without the help of Craig and his staff I would dread to think where I would be, mentally and physically.
I have seen him cover every shift besides his own ranging from personal trainer to accounts to toilet cleaner.
No doubt he is being replaced by some Richmondshire District Council blue-eyed boy. Craig is not some guy who happens to work at the centre, he is the centre.
On behalf of all gym users, I would like to wish the big man all the best.
He will be a sad loss to Colburn, not that I suspect the good burghers of the "Shire" council will lose any sleep over it.
GARETH CLEMENTS Colburn.
