THOUSANDS of people joined an Olympic game star to celebrate the one-year anniversary of Chilterns Lifestyle Centre.

Almost 2,000 adults and children marked the anniversary of the Amersham- based Chilterns Lifestyle Centre, which opened its doors to the public on December 6 last year after weeks long delay.

The Welsh hurdles Olympic medallist Colin Jackson joined a rowing and climbing challenge during the fun day full of free activities including swimming, soft play, climbing, squash, badminton, arts and crafts, group exercise classes, bouldering and pickleball on Saturday December 10.
