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,

    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA! 
    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
