Good news. The ladies only classes have stopped at my leisure centre.

Myself and a few other men have complained to our local leisure centre about classes which only ladies can use.
Our argument was they were not providing men only classes and if the ladies wanted ladies only classes without equivalent men only classes the ladies which use these classes should pay extra as it is a council leisure centre for everybody to use.
They have done a survey and found that none of the ladies going to these classes were bothered about men being in them.
As far as I am concerned any ladies who want ladies only classes should go to private gyms.
The membership fees are a lot higher than the local leisure centre but that is their problem.

Can't place tennis courts. Will look harder next time.
No word from Frank, surely not still at Bums n Tums? Prhaps he's been abducted by gym women in leotards and taken home for their disgustinghealthy pleasure.

Old house opposite the tennis courts.

jeni Fri 01-Feb-13 17:44:22

Tegan Fri 01-Feb-13 17:37:22

It was when I had a bedsit there blush.

Isn't Gillot Road famous for a certain type of 'lady'?

Tegan Fri 01-Feb-13 17:33:40

See prison thread

Maybe, although I heard there is a rather nice gatehouse at the Botanical Gardens, actually within walking distance of Simpsons! One must have somewhere 'expensive' to eat? wine

jeni Fri 01-Feb-13 17:25:30

Augustus rd perhaps?

jeni Fri 01-Feb-13 17:24:55

gracesmum no! Two of the most boring old farts basses in the choir!

Movedalot Fri 01-Feb-13 17:24:53

jeni Fri 01-Feb-13 17:23:29

Hi HildaW

There are not enough men at the Centre I go to to infilltrate leisure centres up and down the country but I can remember 5 in London at the time I was there.

No Jeni he said it is an expensive part of Brum, must be Edgbaaaaaaaaaaston

gracesmum Fri 01-Feb-13 17:13:34

Not Elton John and David Furnish ??? grin

jeni Fri 01-Feb-13 17:10:46

Mind you, since our rector joined the Mothers Union to be followed by two other menconfused

jeni Fri 01-Feb-13 17:09:32

Perhaps it's All Saints he's resident at? Only next door to Winson Green?

Movedalot Fri 01-Feb-13 16:57:32

He only lives in Brum Hilda not that far from you really grin

HildaW Fri 01-Feb-13 14:55:09

I have visions of Frank and his pals (real or imaginary) dressing up Ninja style to infilltrate leisure centres up and down the country. His next step will be to try the local WIs! Then as soon as a sees three or more women gossiping at a bus stop he'll be in there to add his 'manly' views! I shall be looking over my shoulder from now on!!

gracesmum Fri 01-Feb-13 12:05:31

Feeel free to join our village pub knitting group - all ladies, known colloquially as Stitch 'n Bitch - you clearly enjoy airing your somewhat reactionary ohauvinistic unconventional views.......hmm

gracesmum Fri 01-Feb-13 12:02:30

Or just being a spoilsport?

Elegran Fri 01-Feb-13 10:54:44

So does that (your post of Thu 31-Jan-13 20:55:33) mean that you are on a guerrilla project to infiltrate as many women-only courses as you can Frank ? Watch out, your motives could be misinterpreted .....
