..at the Whitbury New Town Leisure Centre.
Personally I'd probably cancel my membership telling them to get fucked if they're not providing the service being paid for, or at at least providing a shit standard one, although I imagine that would would be likely be a bollock ache.
It's close, it has showers, it's relatively cheap and moaning to staff gives me a hobby. Also, it's a decent insight into how (basically) nationalised industries (don't) function.
Are you sure it's not just your leisure centre, rather than making sweeping statements about the entire ideology ? The ones I've been to in Sheffield and London seem pretty decent.
The one in coalville is good too
I'd try the rowing machines and the Watt Bikes before singing their praises.
Bingham at least doesn't routinely inspect them, has no service contract for them (only Life Fitness machines) nor contact for an engineer when they break.
Anyway shouldn't you be concentrating on your annual 24 hour Le Mans related beerathon or have you retired from such irresponsible tomfoolery now your a Tory Capitalist business owner with taxable children?
Most of the leisure services are run by private companies (may not be true of cotgrave). Liberty leisure (who run chilwell olympia) have innovated in the public service leisure space, by putting up prices for facilities installed with public money and shutting the leisure centre during low demand periods. Consequently the sunday evening football game that we played continuously since the nineties ceased to exist a few years ago. The centre was unstaffed, and shut, with no access to the facilities. The overriding advantage of private exploitation of public assets is that there is no joined up thinking in terms of coherent cross discipline public service provision, just a laser like focus on reaping cold hard cash. There is no direct evidence that facilities or services have in any way improved. Which keeps the case for provision nice and simple, just how thick tory voters like it.
I'd love to see Momentum run a leisure centre.
Other choices may exist. Why not we the people? Accountable to us, to provide the function we require, and are prepared to pay for. Do we have to give everything to someone else to fuck up? By which I mean all of the money, for next to nothing in return.
Isn’t this thread supposed to be about people who have fuck all momentum left?
I've met the people.
They'd fuck it up too.
As Ingo continues to increase in mass, won't his momentum continue to build?
I believe he’s benefiting from a new cotgrave-based personal trainer
Not necessarily. He may slow down proportionately.
I agree. They certainly do in privately owned organisations. The ownership model doesn't materially impact the management of a function. Only the control mechanism, asset ownership, and profit centres.
Unconfirmed rumours Super Kevin Campbell has passed away.
Norm has tweeted about it.
