I am a member of the Western baths and will certainly be speaking against the
boards decision. I have problems with the Arlington as I quit the club 2 years
ago over health and safety issues; showers out of use, steam room dangerous
with rust etc. Of course all this can be fixed. The best option is still the
Western baths. All the best Gregor Tassie
