Oak Tree Leisure Centre, Mansfield, has again made the final at the upcoming ukactive awards in the category, Regional Club/Centre (Midlands), a prize the facility has won for the last three times.

Held in partnership with Active IQ, the shortlist for the ukactive Awards 2022 includes fitness and leisure operators of all sizes; local councils; prominent suppliers; leading universities; sports bodies; and charities.

The winners will be announced at an awards ceremony at the International Convention Centre, Birmingham, on Thursday, 30th June.

Brian Taylor, chair of More Community Leisure Trust, which runs the facility and two others in the town on behalf of Mansfield District Council said: “Oak Tree Leisure Centre has a special place in this community. People know they’ll get a friendly welcome and be supported at every step of their fitness journey when they come to this excellent community-focused facility.

“It’s quite an achievement to make the final at this event four times in succession, considering the many centres Oak Tree are competing against each year in the region. Good luck to the team for the 30th!”

Coun Andy Burgin, portfolio holder for the Environment and Leisure, added: “Well done to Oak Tree Leisure Centre for this fabulous achievement. Making the finalists’ shortlist in these awards really is no mean feat – especially four times in a row and when they are up against other prestigious centres right across the region.”
