Children's swimming lessons cancellation
My two children have been having regular swimming lessons, which we paid for by direct debit on a monthly basis, for two years now. The cost is nearly £70 a month and has been crippling us.

anyone joined in The Gym membership?
On their website it says £99 for 6 months - student offer and it sounds good so I signed up and made the payment. However, once I logged in my account, it says "Your 10 month student membership expires on the 4th July." Does anyone know how they charge people after the first 6 months? Thanks
