Competition to name new leisure centre in Selby won by man who chose Selby Leisure Centre

The winner of an exciting competition to name a new leisure centre in Selby, North Yorkshire, has received the prize of a year's free membership.



Steve Wadsworth chose the name 'Selby Leisure Centre' for the facility which is set to open in Spring 2015. He said: "I was really surprised and excited to win the membership prize.

"I'm looking forward to seeing the centre open and being able to use the swimming pool and checking out this fantastic facility for the residents of the Selby area." Paul Hirst, general manager of the centre, said: "Well done to Steve on winning the competition.



"It's great that the residents of Selby have had the chance to play a part in the development of this modern facility, which is set to bring huge benefits back to the community in terms of encouraging people to be active and healthy." The centre, which will be on the site of the old Abbey Leisure Centre, is owned by Selby District Council but will be managed by leisure and culture provider WLCT.

Obviously an area of the country that is distinctly lacking in imagination. Either that or apathy meant this was the one and only entry.
