observer Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Can't be bad - the Council are now providing "free" use of leisure centres to the over 60s; presumably to get them to exercise; and they can get there with their "free" bus pass - seems the Lib-Tories will be getting the "grumpy" vote!

Paul Kennedy Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Not a bad move, if that is what it is, older voters tend to vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Is it "totally" free? Got my application form the other day and it mentions 60% off - well that ain't "free" - pls clarify Paul?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Kennedy Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Think you might have the wrong application form...or the right application form which includes other activities which are not free such as general leisure centre facilities for which there is up to 60% off, I know there is up to 40% off golf at Walton Hall......not that I play golf. Â PS I can't believe that you qualify by age for free swimming Observer. Â PPS Remember very little is ever free...even though it might be at the point of use.
