Stop Squash Court 1 from being converted to a Spin Studio

David Lloyd West End, Glasgow, are due to commence work on Monday 23rd May 2016 that will convert one of three existing squash courts to a spin studio.  The decision to proceed with the scheduled works was taken without consultation with club members.

The loss of one of the three squash courts will result in competitive squash no longer being viable at the club.  The existing courts are already used to full capacity for both training sessions and regional league competitions, and the loss of one third of the facility will result in insufficient capacity for competitive squash to continue in any realistic shape or form at the club.

Many of the squash-playing members at the club have been members of David Lloyd since before DL West End was even built, having previously been members at another club. That the loyalty of such members has not been recognised by involving them in discussion or negotiation is testimony to the contempt with which David Lloyd appears to hold their loyal subscribers. 

Whether you are a squash player or not, please take a moment to show your support  by signing this petition to seek a stay of execution for Squash Court 1, in order that a more suitable alternative can be found.  If you play tennis, would you want one of your tennis courts converted to a spin class? Would you wish to play tennis with a spin class operating on the adjacent court? Yoga and spin right beside each other? Of course not.  The proposal for the squash courts is both non-sensical and disrespectful to members who have supported the club for decades.  Please support your fellow members and urge David Lloyd to reconsider the current proposal by signing the petition now.
