Is it just me or does there seem to be loads of galas now? Especially on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon - there is one today and one in 2 weeks time and I am sure there was one a couple of weeks ago. There has always been them during the week in term time but I am sure the weekends are a pretty new thing and it is quite annoying as the weekends are the only time you can use the pool during the day (and it is closed for lessons from 9-11 on a Sat morning......)

Hi ZoeG,

I am part of the management team here at JAGS. I fully appreciate it may be frustrating when we have Gala's at the Club, however we do try to keep disruption to the pool timetable to as little as possible.

We allow a number of local community swimming clubs to hire the pool throughout the year and the gala's that have been taking place of late are for these existing community clubs. Most competitive swimming clubs hold end of year club championship events for their swimmers and the galas we have had recently are just that. The Club does not have many gala's taking place between February and October as we understand there needs to be a balance. All galas are advertised our website a long way in advance.


We have a number of galas during the week, however these are mainly school events organised by the PE department at James Allen?s Girls? School. These midweek events only occasionally creep into member time and we do try to control this as much as possible.


#womanofdulwich, The club is aware of the issues with changing rooms after children?s lessons, we ask staff to check and clean as much as possible and this will be reiterated to all members of staff.


#HerneHillGuest, if you would like to come for a look round please do not hesitate to cotnact the club on 0208 613 6500, you can simply come for a look around and ask any questions you may have without any pressure to join...


Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further information or would like to discuss any matter further.


Many thanks

Hi

Thanks for your response. As a teacher myself I totally understand midweek galas as Jags is a school first and foremost. It is the weekend that is a bother as the weekend is the only time we can use the facilities during the day. I have noticed there is another gala on Sunday 15th Dec as well as one next Saturday. I appreciate they are advertised in advanced but that isn't really the issue, the issue is that we can't use the pool at a key time during the day at the weekends. We have to either use it in the morning which is always really busy (and Sat morning it is closed for 2 hours anyway) or the evening, which is not always possible - especially when you have kids. It does just seem to be excessive and I think something that needs to be looked at.

Many Thanks

Morning,

ZoeG, Fully appreciate where you are coming from and going forward we will look into how we schedule Gala's that fall on weekends. We will look in depth at ways we can minimise disruption to members time, maybe introduce a minimum of 4 weeks between gala's...


Herne Hill Guest, Glad the class went well, if you would like to pm me a contact number I will get someone to contact you today, our membership manager is in at midday today...


Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further information or would to discuss any matter further.


Many thanks,

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
