My wife and I first joined Green's for the best of all reasons - they built it close to us. We had seen the advertising hoardings offering free memberships and so we visited the building site that would soon become the health and leisure centre itself and were impressed by the scale models that allowed us to see just what it would look like when it was finished.
The price of memberships looked good too. We opted for the off-peak tariff, as it suited ... ...I qualified for the corporate discount that saved me £10 a month.

Advantages: Spacious, comfortable, friendly well equipped gym. Disadvantages: Oh dear, it has a bar!

This club has everything you could possibly want in a health club.
Fully equipped CV room complete with treadmills, bikes, steppers & cross trainers, all liked to six wide (and I mean wide) screen TV's showing all the regular channels plus there is a selection of the popular radio channels, all accessed ... ...these are basically cheaper but with restrictions on the time of day you can go.

The next installment: Green Flag took the van away to a garage (yesterday afternoon) for an estimate on repair costs. They explained that it was too late to have a thorough look at it so they would do it in the morning.... more
