I think Bourton Mill in Shenley CE is only £30/month and has a pool

David Lloyd, which is lovely but very expensive ( I enquired about their latest 3 month membership offer and they quoted £93 a month!). I am going to look into the current offer at LA Fitness at Willen Lake - on the website it says 12 month silver membership half price at £35 a month, I need to find out what silver membership includes though. :j

My gf is looking for a gym to join. She wants one with a pool and all the usual gym stuff. She likes the look of virgin but its about £50 and we heard it can be quite busy. She doesn't want to pay that much to be stuck in a really busy gym where she won't be able to use the equipment.

Anyone got any suggestions of a good gym? Thanks very much everyone

My friend, Rob Bush, sadly passed away two years ago today. He was involved in a motorbike crash and died instantly. Every day I miss him more than I ever thought possible. I can't imagine how his mum and dad feel.

Rob had only just bought his first house. He had recently spent thousands of pounds decorating. e had been going out with his first proper girlfriend for 6 months and had just got a new job working as an IT consultant. Life was looking so good until he had this accident.

My heart goes out to Robs family today and everyday. Death is something most of us will have to face, but you never imagine someone so young will be taken from you.

You can find information about Rob here . There is also a news article made 2 days after the crash here.

Take it easy Rob mate, Always in our thoughts.

Swansea is one of my fav places. Well, The Gower is one of my fave place which happens to be in Swansea :rotfl: Not a great fan of Swansea town centre though I'm afraid. Except for the welks they sell in the indoor market

They're pretty damn tasty!
