And The Winner Goes Too...

We did it!!! We managed to complete ALPHA across two sites without any pandemics getting in the way and god have we missed it!

What a competition it has been , full of strength, sweat passion and plenty of humour and fun with some amazing camaraderie at both sites! The best thing that comes out of every Alpha course, be it Male or Female, is unity! Everyone gets on so well, encourages each other and achieves so much more than anyone ever expects! This year we crowned Heather McMullan in Bakewell and Maya Basu in Wilsmlow, our 2022 ALPHA queens!

Heather and Maya’s were full of talent, enthusiasm and determination and were both over the moon to take the crown!

Shout out also to Kirsty Duncan (Bakewell) and Jo Atkinson (Wilmslow) who took second place and Hatters (two time Bakewell winner) and Lisa Dance (Wilsmlow) on taking third place.

Different day, different time, different challenges and all of the fore-mentioned (plus many more) have the potential to challenge that crown. Roll on Alpha 22.2, can not wait!!

Lets finish with some our favourite stats from the course
