I have been a member of this gym under it's various ownerships, for over 10 years prior to the take over by Fitness First and was regarded as a Blue Chip member of long standing. A month prior to my membership expiry I decided I needed to attend a different style of gym to the way in which this was being run. I find it difficult to believe that I was never contacted in relation to renewing my membership. For a business which exists on members, this seems extremely tardy. I am not the only member with such a story to tell and my new gym is receiving more members as their F.F expires. However, it is not for me to relate the story of others.

Top Dog Minders interview and appoint people who will look after dogs in their own home. I was able to take my dog to meet the proposed minder who happened to be in my area, and view the security and get the feel of the person. We were really happy to try this as I was not happy about the kennel environment for my spoiled pooch. I found the staff very helpful during the initial discussion and this seems to be a very well run business.

I've had many discussions with Stuart explaining his business and he has given advice when we were contemplating a move. This did not eventuate, but I know of his success and work ethic through a very close friend who used his services in both selling and buying their latest property. I have full confidence that when the time comes to pursue a change in real estate in the future, Stuart will be used as our Advocate.

Jasmine has created new cuff links, also made a new one to match an existing antique cuff link which has been sitting in the box not being able to be worn. I have seen her own jewellry and love her style and taste. Friends have shown me how she has redesigned bits and pieces of once useless jewellry into lovingly restored favourite items. She has a flair for understanding what is required and very happy to made suggestions for a point of difference

This has become my local pasta fix. Have been going here for a few years and always find the standard very high. I have my favourite dishes, but I am told by friends who attend with me that their dishes are delicious

Many visits here and have taken many friends who in turn continue to eat here. A small place - usually go by specials or as recommended by Wing. Food is always most enjoyable

We were introduced by friends who frequent this hotel particularly on Sunday evenings when there is a great Jazz Band. A great night out - arrive early and take time to enjoy very pleasant food in good atmosphere, then relax back to enjoy the great music. Our first experience was very close to the music which was great and as other musos dropped in during the evening we were treated to a most wonderful session.

It is not usual for us to move out of our area for Restaurants, but since being introduced to this, we seem to find an excuse to take others to enjoy this beautiful Cucina Italiana di Qualita. Can be a little expensive depending on the choices and how many courses etc., then again just as beautiful to share a trio pasta with wine and feel very happy with the experience and cost.

How pleased are we to see the re-opening of the old Ging Wah Restaurant which our family and friends regularly visited for over 30 years. After a break of a couple of years, this opened with a fresh look - still hosted by Soo and Henry who give wonderful service to the many who class Ging as their favourite Asian spot. Eating here is always a pleasure and we are happy to be directed to new dishes and tastes. This has always been the place where children (now grown up) take their young friends and in some cases three generations are visiting.

I have trained with Margie for 11 years during her years of working in gyms. Last year she realised her dream of opening her own boutique gym with a desire to concentrate on personalised service. No screaming music or distractions of TV screens. Small yoga/pilates classes and attention to detail and correction.
