I HAVE been a member of the Promenade Club for a number of years and will be sorry to see it close ('Anger as club deal collapses', February 16).

Being a pensioner and living close by it was so handy and all the members are so friendly.

We have a good steward, and his wife, who are really know their jobs. So it is a pity that more flats will to be built there. These days, it seems, are money-making ones for builders.

Mrs O Atkinson,

Clementhorpe Court, York.
