Save our Bar

shocking news for members. The bar & coffee area are at the heart of the club. totally wrong decision.

Very concerned to hear that the cafe and bar is closing at the gym. The social element was a key driver to me joining this club as I travel from waterlooville. If this closes I will rethink my membership. I would have thought such a major change to the terms and conditions of my membership would have required full consultation. Has this step been missed???

We need it it’s part of the club after a game

Can't do without a bar. Squash teams need to offer hospitality to away teams

The bar/cafe is all part of the wellbeing experience, I’ve made many friends/associates over the years , I’ve been a member for 26yrs . Regards Roger

Please keep the bar and cafe, it makes the club more friendly, we already lost the jacuzzi, we don't want to loose the bar.

Good to catch up @ enjoy a coffee or a pint after a workout

Essential part of my membership

It would be a tragedy to remove the bar. Nuffield isn't only a place to keep fit, it's a social place to meet friends and relax.

Bar and food is needed for team squash, without this option team squash at Nuffield will not be possible.

Keep are bar and coffee shop

PLEASE PLEASE Save our bar. Work with members to enhance the club facilities and encourage new and more memberships.

The guys who work behind the bar are a huge asset. Members see them as friends , other clubs are not so inclusive and friendly. That’s what makes Nuffield unique. A few years ago , two popular instructors were let go. They had no choice but to go to the Mountbatten Centre. Their step and spin classes are now full with waiting lists. The decision making at upper management level has , and continues to be poor. I urge Nuffield to listen to their members and act on their findings.

We desperately need the bar as great for social interactions and mental health

One of the bigger selling points of this place and a reason I joined . Save the bar

I enjoy my coffee catch up with my class members

Think of the wider implications of this potential closure on the mental health of the membership….good health is so much more than physical fitness

The social life of the club has been key to the club's success for decades, and sets it apart from many other fitness clubs that are soulless and lack a sense of community. I urge the management to reconsider their intentions.

The bar and cafe area is a big part of our social meetings, getting together, after our workouts, have a coffee and drink, and will effect quite a lot of members as they have suggested leaving the gym, we have supported the gym for many years, and it's been such a big help for people in the community that are lonely, suffer from mental health issues, as it gets them interaction and being part of our lovely little community of our very own Please reconsider and listen to what the members want. Kind Regards Linda Beverley

The bar for me is a place i can sit and relax after doing my work out with a coffee and chat to other members
