Catmose Sports Closes its Doors in Oakham
Today marks a sad day for Oakham and Rutland residents as Catmose Sports Centre officially closed its doors. The closure, attributed to budget cuts by Rutland County Council, leaves hundreds without their local fitness facility.
The events leading to this closure have been widely reported, with residents fighting to save the centre for some time. A BBC East Midlands reporter spent the morning capturing the emotions of those directly impacted by the closure, interviewing members of the Sports Club.
The community spirit surrounding Catmose Sports is evident on the "Support Catmose Sports" Facebook page. Posts expressing gratitude to the staff, along with photos and videos from the final week's activities and classes, paint a picture of a cherished local institution.
While Catmose Sports is no more, the memories and sense of community it fostered will undoubtedly live on.
