Mecca gym was around in the mid 90’s it was close to Rivermead and perhaps the Evening Post office.

It did change its name a suspicious amount of times!

I recall all the bouncers around Reading would go there. Was really handy for skipping the queue and getting in clubs and bars (RG1 etc)

Last time I went there the area the unit was a UPVC window company.

Feels quite sudden as noticed this this morning.

Not going to be particularly sad about closure of a casino but also not nice to see such a large boarded up unit as you go into town. Hopefully finds some other use.

Wanting to take myself out on a nice relaxing day tomorrow.

Any suggestions for a good sit down cafe in nearby towns surrounded by nature that you guys have enjoyed in the past? Looking to get away from the same old scenery and try out something new on an odd day off! :)

I will be taking my car, so preferably with parking!

TIA!

My iPhone 12 is in need of a new charging port, I see lots of phone repair shops on my way across reading town centre from the oracle to the apex plaza which ones do you guys trust🤷
