They don't make bars like that anymore either! Shame if I was in charge that wood panneling and carpet would be straight back in :P

Cool I was hoping the girl in a bikini outdoors in March under a water fountain was part of the proceedings!

Saturday and Sunday 10am - 4pm. Early morning swim sounds perfect to me.

Same as the go-karts (if its not pissing it down)
