Have been a member of the Dip Club since 2005. Started out well and really felt like somewhere to escape to on weekends, but has changed considerably in the past 12 months.
Far more Arabic members, large functions on the terrace overlooking the beach so quite uncomfortable for members who use that area, and the arrival of a mosque next to the recreation centre (complete with calls for prayer).
Also had sudden rule changes with singlets (tank tops) no longer allowed in the gym, and just the other week a directive that women may no longer wear two piece bathing suits.
Despite many members complaining to the management about these rules which have just been introduced without any consultation, nothing has been done. Many western members VERY unhappy and talking of going elsewhere ...so beware if you are thinking of joining as one wonders what the next limitation will be.
