How much is it to join and use the gym? I am looking for a decent gym and dont wanna use fatness first.

Mind I am not sure I could get past the bar after a workout so maybe not a good idea

Only want to check out the food!

2,500 but there could be an additional joining fee for the first year.

Darn-tooting right we were.....!!!

I also believe they are serving slightly ahead of the official 7.30 start time...

The few times I've been to the JAC, I just walked in - though it was a Wednesday 8.30 pm quiz night (good quiz by the way). Only using the pub and not the gym, swimming pool, tennis courts or other facilities.

I think TGFKASE said that you might have to pay some cash at the door as a non-member but that get your money back on the first drink. I'll have to check with him.

No, normally free and it was only some of the world cup games where non members had to buy a ticket that included a drink(s).

Ah...that's what TGFKASE told me, I forgot that the World Cup was on at the time. The World Cup just a fading memory. Next time !

Jusr trying to cull the possible 'Jim Smith' people from the JARC.. Since you have never visited the Seaman's, that reduces the possibilities quite condiderably....lol
