Mark West is corect in that there had been a long-term lack of communication between members and manangement. I'll go further, management had become so removed from membership that they forgot the purpose of the club. This and the state, the fabric of the building and questionable service made it an unpleasant place to spend time in. Let me recount all the postgrad and mature students I know who renewed their memberships this year 1 out of 17 and that was me! Let me congradulate the <em></em>former <em></em>CoM for bringing down the only postgrad club in Scotland. It was once a respected place, membership of the club was envied by many and was a thriving heaving entity. Sadly, no more. So, I say, "Well done!". Now get your worthless asses off our campus and never darken our doorstep again. RIP HRC Having been a member and I suppose I am still part of the albeit defunct entity.

See also the closure of the university health service last year, with a number of redundancies and a large saving - replaced by the NHS. One also has to wonder how the GUU has obtained such massive bailouts over the last few years, and why the university is reluctant to lend the HRC the money. Wouldn't be surprised to see that building put on the market sooner rather than later.

Is it possible the club was never run at a profit in order to secure funds from the University? Could it be that the manager had been running the place at a loss for years without ever being held to account? This certainly isn't something which "just happened" and the state of the CoM in the club has been disastrous for a number of years. You have to ask what the management was doing about the deficit.
