The Best Things

• Despite what the contributor below says in the "worst things" section, in order to join the Western Baths you do not have to provide details of your parentage or annual income. You do have to state your nationality on the form, but that is hardly unusual and isn't even remotely sinister. There is indeed a "whole" book in Hillhead Library about the Baths. Perhaps the aforementioned contributor should try reading it sometime before spouting-off about something that they clearly have very little knowledge of? Then again I get the feeling that reading a "whole" book might be a bit more than they can manage. The Western Baths now has a website at www.thewesternbaths.co.uk
• THE WESTERN BATHS CLUB This swimming and health club has served the residents of Hillhead very well since it was established in 1876. With well over 2,000 members it caters for all sections of the community. The facilities are excellent with a large swimming pool, Turkish, Russian and sauna baths, a sports hall, gymnasium, exercise areas, reading rooms, etc plus a bar and social area. Although a members’ club, non-members are very welcome at a wide range of classes for such as aerobics, yoga, pilates and belly dancing. The facilities are also used regularly by various local groups for indoor football, badminton, sub-aqua, water-polo, triathlon, etc, etc.
