Having been a member of the Castle Sports Centre for the last ten years (50 plus badminton) I have noticed that the centre is used more and more frequently for social events, resulting in the sports hall being unavailable.
As an example, from mid-December to mid-January we are unable to use the sports hall at all due to the fact that it is being taken over for these “events”, after which we find the floor in a terrible state rendering it, in some instances, dangerous, especially bearing in mind the age group of our players (50 to 85).
Of course this does not only effect us, but all the other indoor sports activities as well.
Surely the use of the Springfields Events Centre is better suited to social functions, rather than a sports hall.
I would be interested in your readers views.
