Dear Members
We are writing to inform you that from next week the gym will be closed at
weekends for two months. This is due to that fact that we need to renovate the
changing rooms and showers. We have decided that Saturdays and Sundays will be
the best days to carry out this work, as attendance is much lower then. We
apologise for the inconvenience, and hope you will understand that it is for the
benefit of everyone.

Hi Messi,
How are you? Have you read that they want to close the gym at weekends in the
next months? I’m really disappointed/ sad/ angry because I’m only free at the
time. I’d told them that I could only go to the gym/ participate in weekend
sessions. I guess we have no choice but accepting it. What do you think?
Bye/ goodbye, see you soon, love,
Ronaldo
