>> NZ SUPPORT FOR BASEBALL CAGES

Hi there,

I was delighted to read your press release confirming the reprieve for the baseball & softball batting cages at your excellent facility.

I am always dismayed that a minority feel it is their right to deprive large numbers of people of leisure facilities simply because they themselves do not utilize those facilities. Surely the UK is in need of more outdoor entertainment centres such as yours to combat the growing obesity epidemic.

I live in Auckland, New Zealand, but visited Playgolf Northwick Park with my UK resident relatives, on my recent trip to London. I have to say I was very impressed with the quality of the facilities, the service and the moderate pricing. That is not something you can say for most forms of entertainment in London.

It is unique in the UK and yet certain people still want it removed! An extremely narrow-minded attitude. The same attitude that resulted in the location of Euro-Disney (and the tax revenues it generates), to Paris rather than West London.

The fact that common sense has prevailed is good news and I wish you every success in the future.

Regards,

Brijan Patel,
