I now have two kids doing swim school at the leisure centre, which means ?50 per month. It looks like they've got an offer on at the moment that if you pay up-front it works out at ?85ish per family (2 adults, 2 children) per month. I'd love to do more exercise and evening classes would be the best for me (don't fancy running round Peck Rye in the dark at the mo!), so I'm seriously considering signing up, just wondered if there were any other members here who recommended it or otherwise? is it easy to get into evening classes or do you have to book up miles in advance? are the classes actually any good (i'm really not into working out in the gym itself, much prefer classes)? what about the creche, how does that work out?


Any tips hugely appreciated!

Joined for the same reason and it works out ok. Classes are reasonably good and not too difficult to get into I usually (although I have not started going again this year), book a class immediately after i leave it and get home to a computer so about a week in advance. When I joined mid this year I tried out alot of the classes and picked what I wanted. Having said that some classes are harder to get and must be booked earlier.


Another thing to consider (which i struggled with) is time spent with my partner it eneded up that he gets in and i leave for a class, then he decided to go to the gym as we now had family membership and started another scheduling problem, other than that the teachers are fantatic, some more than others depending on what you fancy.


I found the Creche expensive as (I think) its not free for members. Its ?11, I think. And last time I asked they told me you could nott book it online meaning there are chances you could book a class turn up and find the creche is not available, but do confirm as one thing I find is you tend to get contradicting messages depending on whom you talk to.

      Fireworks

      By Sue · Posted

      I think the only way to sort this is to ban loud fireworks for private sale (and preferably ban fireworks altogether except for public displays). I don't know whether that has implications I'm not aware of eg I have no idea how many people are involved in firework manufacture.

      Very happy to recommend Tommy Rooney's excellent work again. He's been servicing my boiler for years now, but this time he swiftly fixed a leaky radiator valve. I put out a call on Friday and it was repaired - and improved - by Monday evening. I asked him if he had an opinion about my other radiators, and he reassured me as he pointed out the leaky bathroom rad was a non-standard length, which was why it caused problems. There followed a brief but detailed history of improvements in regulations for valves and fittings over the years, so that I could understand precisely what the issue was. How many plumbers will do that for you? "I've just got a memory for weird things," says Tommy modestly.

      Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.
