As to the latest gossip on the Sports Club, and I have heard this third hand so I don't know how true it is. The staff have now been given until the end of September to be completely out of there when the Club closes. Originally they had been given a 3 month rolling contract to be caretakers of the place. Now, allegedly, the council is meeting with the current owners to discuss buying back the property to, as you may know, build a school there.  Whilst the area does need more schools, its not such a good idea when it comes at the expense of loosing sports facilities. The council owns plenty of land in Barnet, so why destroy amenities for the community, rather than using existing sites? We cannot afford, socially, morally or for the sake of our young peoples health and wellbeing to keep destroying playing fields.
