I'm a regular user of Jags sports club but I'm beginning to think it's slipping. They use a card swipe system but I think because of this non members are bunking in. Whenever I go in the receptionists don't even look up from the screen. I've noticed the gym is full of teenagers who I'm sure can't all be members. Also, the entrance gates for are permanently open, and as a result the small car park is always full. I think many of the cars are owned by non members who are either using the all weather pitch or whose kids are at a swimming gala. I'm thinking of knocking it on the head before it totally goes to pot.

Very interesting. I was just thinking about joining with my other half. We wanted somewhere with a pool as he doesn't do the gym. Not really bothered if i make eye contact with the receptionist or noy, but i do care about lots of machines not working. Anything else I should know before I sign away my hard earned pounds?
I agree with Jimmy, gates always open, car park always full, reception staff don't mind if you just walk in. As a paid up member who often can't find my membership card, it has never been a problem, even accessing the ladies change rooms, which used to require swiping your card seems to be no longer required.
The place probably is heaving with young lads as my teenage son has been pleading with me for membership as lots of his mates are already members and as Jags don't operate a guest system he is unable to go. I'm resisting mostly because of the ?70 joining fee but sounds like its not worth the monthly fee either. Unacceptable to have machines out of order considering how expensive it is.

Thanks Huggers. I suggested to my son that he could go along as a guest but he said they didn't allow it, probably because he's putting on the pressure for his own membership. He has free access to the gym at Haberdashers which is why I'm holding out on getting him membership at Jags. He plays loads of sport at school and at weekends so doesn't need to go to the gym to get fit so it's hard to justify the cost.

Just checked it out for my son. Hope the link works.

I think a guest swim is ?8 or so. Whether that includes the gym I don't know. I'd liek to use the pool, but since I am in ESPH, I don't need the gym aspect. I rang and asked whether they'd consider lowering the price for just a swim, but the response I got was an uninterested 'no'.

I have been a member of jags and have not had any problems. i find the receptionists very friendly and helpfull, i try to always have my membership card with me as i guess it gives the receptionists more hassle especially at busy times!!!!


The pool is great early morning and later evenings there are usually just a few people bliss....


I always mention to the reception that a machine is not working, it;s a shame you have had some bad experiences, hope they improve..

I have always found it great, the main problem was a few years back when word got out and instead of families from Jags or Alleyns and around the 'village', people who all knew each other, we were overun with a slightly less desirable suburban crowd from ED, all low slung pants and oversized pushchairs.

Yeah, it's terrible to be in a situation where people don't all know each other. Bit like a large modern city LOL! We must stand together and fight to retain Dulwich Village's non-suburban status!!!


Anyone remember the shock and outrage back in the 70s at the BBC TV comedy "The Gnomes of Dulwich"? No second series for that outrage!!!!

It's been mentioned in another thread, but the adult lanes swimming is frustrating because people don't obey the fast, medium and slow lane signs. Quite often very slow swimmers swim in the fast lanes, sometimes going round the opposite way to what's been indicated. The lifeguards don't seem to be proactive in putting a stop to this.

    • 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".
