Dingwall Leisure Centre hits 50 - and you’re all invited to the party!





A ROSS-SHIRE leisure centre is taking a step back in time to celebrate its 50th birthday in 1970s style - and everyone’s invited!

Flares and platforms will be the order of the day at Dingwall Leisure Centre next weekend with plans including a ‘70s-style roller disco, an old-fashioned military boot camp circuits session and the chance for one lucky fitness fan to win a 50-year membership.

The weekend of November 22 – 24 marks the golden anniversary of the facility, which has been at the centre of the community since it was built in 1974.
