Your story about gym instructors paying Glasgow Life a £100 mandatory fee: these instructors are dedicated, driven professionals and provide a superb service for thousands of members everyday.

This is just another prime example of Archie Graham and this organisation rearing its corrupt tentacles and chancing their luck.

I would urge the times to investigate this organisation and expose their poor working practises. It's not fit for purpose any longer.

The staff are superb but the senior management are a disgrace.

It's time Glasgow Club members were afforded a seat and a say on the board Glasgow Life.

They proclaim the highest ever membership numbers which are generating around £1million per month. This is a well funded organisation that has taken its members for granted for far too long. It's time to give those who fund it, and fund it generously, a voice and transparency.

Member fees did and should continue to "cover insurance and qualifications and associated administrative costs." This is called chancing your arm.

Actions speak louder than words and one cannot help but observe its actions seldom reflect its talk.

As someone who uses Glasgow Club and supports it well, I feel there is a real danger that this once great organisation could be run right into the ground.

Largest membership numbers = class cancellations, running networks stopped, filthy toilets and changing rooms, limited access to certain venues along with poor parking facilities to name but a few.

It is inconceivable that a freelance instructor would practice without appropriate insurance or qualifications.

I would imagine two sheets of A4 paper certificates would evidence this, so where does the council get a charge of £100 to cover admin in ensuring this?

This is a spurious charge no mistake there another dubious council money maker.

With regards your story about Glasgow South East foodbank looking for donations of tampons - what a story to read in 2016.

Well done to the Evening Times for highlighting the issue and to all the foodbanks that are doing all they can to feed people and to preserve a little of the dignity of those who have fallen on hard times - almost always through no fault of their own.
