JR Country Club.

Hi All.
Anybody knows what's going on at JR country Club, people there today doing exterior decorating.

I don't know what's happening but I went past twice last week and the gate was open and there were people inside. Hopefully it's been taken over.

Yes - couple called Maggie & Brad has taken it on - not sure if lease or bought - but doing it all up and will be opening about August. If you pass and see them - stop for a chat they seem like ok people.

Move over at the end of July and can't wait to visit JRs again.
Fantastic news.

That's brill news thats a big place going to waste.

That is good news but it lost so much money I hope they know what they are taking on.

Well if they think they can keep it going in times of crisis good luck to them. So many companies/business now closing. Very brave to think they can do this.

They may have the finances to get through it, taking on such a business is a big decision so its obviously been thought through, and who knows the Covid Pandemic will have reduced a lot of rents so good terms to be had, one of the things i noticed was people would turn up and maybe buy 1 drink and sit for a few hours whilst using the pool, even some people had the cheek to turn up to use the pool and not buy a thing, unreal, the scrimpers need to start spending as this is the only thing that will speed up the recovery for these businesses

All the more reason for everyone to support them

They hopefully got a reduced rent or they might have bought it, I know the rent there was very expensive that's why nobody could make a success of it.
