Just wait, I suppose.
I suggested a Facebook campaign, but it seems Neil prefers a more direct action approach.
Perhaps we're going to jump off the balcony at the Sports Centre, the next time there's a single sex swimming session.
Or perhaps we'll abseil into one of the venues hosting an event put on by Hyndburn Women's Forum.
I'll just stay here===>
Awaiting further instruction, drinking my brew.

It seems as well a tax payer funded leisure services in Hyndburn, which discriminate along gender lines, such as...
events
H.B.C. are actively supporting a whole host of single sex sport and leisure activities in the bourough.
'The findings of a survey of 250 women has led the borough council to draw up plans to offer low-cost fitness classes in community venues in a 」200,000 scheme.'
'According to the survey, 57 per cent of the area痴 women do not take part in any sport or active recreation.'
'Men in the borough do not fare much better at just 21 per cent hitting that target.'
'However, the group which produced the report was specifically asked to focus on women.'
'This is because the council wanted to tap into funding from the Active Women fund, which only pays for activities to get females fitter.'
」200k bid to get Hyndburn women fit and active (From Blackburn Citizen)
As you say, it does all sound 'very sexist, and should not be allowed'. I quite agree.
Whatever happened to equality?

Thats £200K we could have spent on the Royal Wedding Bash; all that Accy needs now is another £40K, and it can look the East End in the face.

Did someone post there's a shower in the upstairs toilets in the Market Hall?
Sure they did.
All begining to make sence.
After getting sweaty playing sport, pop up there to clean up.
Saves money, and increases footfall.
Back of the net!
