I used to be an annual member and agree with the thread. One barely uses the club and it’s facilities but contributes a steady income stream and to reduce access at greater cost would seem punitive. I used to joke that my two trips a year used to cost me £150 a swim which even by London standards is expensive. I never predicted I would come back to London but kept membership just in case – and that was indeed a fortunate thing when life throws a curve ball.
