SWIMMING DISCRIMINATION IN SALE (UPDATE) - CAN YOU HELP?

One of the most popular recent posts was the issue of the discrimination against men at Sale Leisure Centre.

The author of the post (Carl) recently added an update and in case it gets lost as issues come up thick and fast please see his message below. Can you help (post below)?

----------------------------------------------------------------

Guys, thanks for your posts to date.

I'm currently in the very early stages of requesting information from Trafford Leisure Trust with a view to taking legal action against them.

I will continue to view the site and hopefully garner help and advice from you all. At some stage, I will be looking to involve the national press (Daily Mail or The Express) in this.

I am looking for a ballsy solicitor to take me on with this. Anyone know who might be up for a fight that could end up on the 6 o'clock news in about 6 months time outside the High Court?

Surely there has to be a Solicitor out there who feels the way I do about this, and wants to use their skill in taking this Leisure Trust apart, bit by bit?

This could be a very sweet victory for true equality with the right brief in my corner.

I just need some quality help guys, but I'm a man of limited means.

Someone posted their success in overturning such sessions. Shouldn't we be try to get some media coverage for that victory in order to start putting pressure on other authorities? (I didn't' see it mentioned in the media anywhere).

I don't know if you have a similar system in England or not, but in Scotland we have such a thing as a 'Small Claims Court', which is an inexpensive way of recovering sums of money from debtors.

If I were in this situation, I would demand the return of my fees for the portion of time from which I was being excluded from using the facilities.

If the authority refused to give me my refund, I would take a claim out against them, at the Small Claims Court.

Maybe this is something which you chaps 'down South' could look into?

Actually I think women only classes and possibly sessions are not that bad an idea in of themselves. The problem is that gender activists have lobbied for simplistic non-nuances anti-discrimination laws and then used them to attack anything male.

Well it looks like it has come round and bitten them in the butt.
