excellant, just rang them to ask whether I can apply (do not live in Wigan borough and they said I could) so I will go with daughter tomorrow.

Also I can just apply for the card when I am there and get free swimming

That's good for you, hope you enjoy it :cool:

I just looked at Stoke on Trent and it seems to be only under 16's and I think pensioners. So working folk like me as usual are subsidising the rest of the country.

would be great if Hindley wasn't in such a rough area and Howe Bridge was open more in the evenings!! I'll stick to paying £15.99 a month at Horwich that's more flexible with it's times!!

I know, it's typical! I'm only a mile away from Wigan town centre, but don't drive, and have 3 kids and another due in 9 weeks. We would LOVE to take advantage of the free swimming...But can't get to any 'local' baths now Wigan baths has gone :mad: There's Hindley, Ashton, Howe Bridge in Leigh and Tyldesley baths nr manchester. It would probably be cheaper in busfares for us all to get a bus to Skem, and then pay to swim there!!
