Speaking to fab friends of ours yesterday we got into talking about clubs and how it seems some have fallen into less than great condition.

To some degree this is understandable given the lack of income these business have had to endure. Things like cleanliness shouldn't be an issue as this would come under housekeeping and will be a reflection (imho) on its owners. The points being discussed were about broken things around clubs, such a toilet cubical locks broken, torn seats and lack of soaps, old worn sheet and towels. The things that money is required to fix.

Our friends have made a couple of trips to two of their favourite places pre-covid in recent weeks and have they been disappointed to see very few people using them and the state of disrepair and lack of investment into keeping them of a standard. Is one because of the other, or have fab habits changed?

I won't name them as this is second hand info to me and would be unfair to the businesses mentioned to me.

So the question I would like to know, is this a universal issue, or have some clubs maintained or indeed even improved since covid? Has the number of clientele grown since lockdown being lifted?

If you are a club owner why not big up yourselves and say why you've been able to continue to keep the overall conditions good or better?

If you think your local club deserves a mention tell us why. The best businesses always have people spreading word of mouth approval (and nothing else hopefully)

This isn't an invitation to do down clubs so please don't.

When you are already £60+ out of pocket in just getting to mainland UK and have hotel costs on top, we'd like to know which are the club's that have survived covid, in being able to legitimately say its business as usual (or better).
