An update

Hi everyone

First of all, THANK YOU for signing this petition.

Secondly - if we reach 500+ signatures, we can present the issue to the North Yorkshire committee that is responsible for Leisure Services.   If you feel motivated to email someone, these are the Councillors you should approach: 

• Executive Member for Leisure / Culture, Arts & Housing: Councillor Simon Myers Simon.Myers@northyorks.gov.uk
• Leader of the Council: Carl Les cllr.carl.les@northyorks.gov.uk

Also we would love to get this out to members of more centres in the Active Leisure estate, do you know anyone who uses Ripon, Harrogate, Bedale, Pateley Bridge etc?  (there's a full list here).  Please tell them about our campaign! 

If you think you can help by posting to your own Facebook page, or distributing and sharing leaflets with the petition link, there is an accessible Google Drive folder where you can download materials. 

It is now almost impossible to book a popular class (e.g. spin) because the places are all snapped up by the growing cohort of 'Premium' members before the booking window even opens to the rest of us.  It's just so wrong: divisive and unfair.  Even though I could probably afford the extra, I won't.  

The issue is changing the nature of the centre we all love to use, please continue to help us drive the campaign.  

Thanks again for your support.
