Membership Card

Fighting Fit is a members-only club. When you first join, we give you a computerized card. It has your name, photo and membership number on.

Please have your card with you every time you use the club. The card is for your use only, and there is a small charge to provide a new one if you lose it. Members are permitted to bring guests to use the facilities at the club. A visiting guest fee is charged for each guest.

Your Fitness Program includes a meeting with one of our skilled instructors. This will happen two or three weeks after you have joined. The instructor looks at your health, your current needs and the way you live, and organizes a program suitable for you.

Our gymnasiums are the most modem in the area and have high quality exercise equipment. For safety reasons, you must wear sportswear and trainers while exercising, and please remember to take a small towel too. It is one of our rules that you wipe the equipment after use.

There is no limit to how long you spend in the gymnasiums, but we ask you to respect other members by only spending 20 minutes on each piece of equipment. There are experienced staff helping you in the gymnasiums at any time.

We have large male and female locker rooms. Please ensure that your property is kept in your locker at all times. Any belongings which are found in a locker overnight will be removed and taken to Lost Property.

PAPERBACKS

A former lady-in-waiting to Princess Margaret and maid of honour at the Queens coronation, Glenconner takes us behind the royal scenes in his irresistible, sometimes jaw- dropping memoir.

In his second novel featuring the Scottish cookery writer Paul Stewart, McCall Smith is as witty and shrewd as ever.

Vivid and candid stories of the war in Afghanistan from a British ex-soldier.

Charming slice of escapist romance, set in Provence ----although this year the book may be more of a substitute for a summer holiday than an accompaniment to one.

Thoroughly well-informed ---- to the point of slightly obsessive ---- account of history and present state of knitting in Britain.
