Member Facilities

Swimming Pool The use of the swimming pool is free to you, your partner and any children under the age of 16 at any point during the published opening times. Children between 16 and 18 must have their own fob in order to use the pool without charge. When the pool is closed for general swimming, the swimming and sub aqua section have use of the pool. You can join these sections although there is an extra charge for this. There are also Aquacise classes which take place during the week for a small charge. Any children under the age of twelve must be accompanied in the pool by an adult at all times and any children under the age of 16 must have an adult present in the spectators’ balcony. There is also a limit of two children to every adult using the pool for safety reasons.
	Squash Courts The squash courts must be booked in order for you to use them. To book a court either ask at the front desk or phone the Club on the number at the bottom of this page. Each session lasts for 45 minutes, costs £2 and you can only book one session at a time.
Snooker Table The snooker table must also be booked. Each session lasts for an hour and again you may only book one session at a time. You pay for the amount of time you require the snooker light for; however, no-one is allowed to play on the snooker table without the light. It costs 20p for 8 minutes of light. There are also specific rules with the snooker room. No children under the age of 16 are allowed in the room at any time as are any spectators. A maximum of 4 players may use the table and the door staff will check the room after it has been used. Any non-accidental damage caused may result in being banned from playing snooker.
	Pool Room The Club also has a pool room with 2 pool tables and arcade machines in it. Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult at all times when playing on the pool tables. Cues and Cue balls are available from the doorman. The pool tables cost 40p per game and the arcade games cost £1 for 3 games.
Bar The Club features 3 bars, the main bar is in the members lounge and stock a large range of draught beers and lagers, spirits, Alcopops and wine. All of the prices are far lower than that of your local pub as they are subsidised by your membership fees. The other two bars are located in the function hall and the restaurant.
	Function Hall The Club’s function hall is the venue for the various events that the Club holds throughout the year. From discos, children's nights and pantomimes to live acts such as Bobby Davro, Chas and Dave and Mike Reid, all of whom appeared at the Club in 2002. The hall can also be hired out for private parties, weddings and for conferences and seminars.
Restaurant The Club’s restaurant, McAllister’s, has only been running under the Club’s management since late 2001. However it already has a good reputation for excellent food and service. The opening dates and menus are advertised just outside the bottom door for the restaurant, however, we will take A La Carte bookings for 6 or more on any night, subject to availability. The restaurant can also be hired out for private occasions.
	Snack Bar The Club also has a snack bar which provides light meals and snacks as well as roast dinners on Sundays. The food charges, as the drinks, are subsidised by your membership fee and therefore cheaper than most pubs.
