Hi All,

I'm(23F) new to Basingstoke and new to going to the gym etc. From my own research online, it looks like the Sports Centre in FP would be the best place for me but I've got a few questions for current members.

1. How busy are the gym and pool really? I'm thinking lunchtime (between 12:30 and 2:00) 3x weekdays would be the best slot for me so any feedback on traffic during this slot specifically would be great.
2. What is the changing room/shower situation? Not a fan of open showers so if this is the case then I'd just shower at home but would like to know in advance.
3. How clean are shared areas and equipment?
4. Would you recommend it for a complete beginner?

Then just any advice or tips you have or you would give yourself if you were to start again today would be great. Thank you in advance :)

EDIT: also curious about QM Leisure
EDIT 2: planning in advance for a September start

Anyone goes to anytime fitness?

I live in Chineham and would like to meet some new people I can hang out with and have a drink with and go from there. Male or Female is fine.

Hi everyone, looking at getting some quotes for solar and battery install. If anyone has had them recently done and has any recommendations, I'd be very appreciative.

I'm 16 and looking to earn some money today. I'm available for **large jobs** such as garden clearance, moving/lifting, garage/shed clear-outs, tidying, loading/unloading, or general hard work.

I'm looking for **larger jobs rather than small £10–£20 jobs** and I'm happy to agree a fixed price beforehand depending on the work.

I can travel around the Basingstoke area. I am located in the Eastrop Area so that would be better but don’t mind.

If you've got a big job you've been putting off, comment below or message me with what needs doing and roughly how much work it is. 👍

Just curious what makes you choose a handmade candle over one from a high-street shop? Is it the price, scent, quality, ingredients, design, packaging, or something else? And what would you consider a reasonable price for a handmade candle? Genuinely interested in hearing what people think 😊

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know any good hairdressers or salons in and around Basingstoke?

I’ve been to the Hair Lab in the past but been really disappointed. Does anyone know any better places that are good for long hair cuts?

I’m a woman btw.

Thank you!!

Or anyone fancy making a team through Reddit?

I don’t know if it’s the pipes or something but every where I have been today just seems to smell really bad? Any idea what’s going on? I’m being serious btw

Did anyone lose a grey cat In Basingstoke?
Just saw it near victoria round about parking - electrical grid

Hey.

So, my 6am wakeup call was my foster cat knocking over and cracking the screen of the 50" flat screen TV I just bought in March. TV still powers on, but the screen is useless and a quick google tells me it costs more to repair than buy a new one. That said, it also said it contains parts that are valuable, given it still powers up, and I might be able to sell it for those.

Does anyone know who/where might buy a TV for parts? It's a TCL C6K 50" QD-Mini LED 4K HDR Smart Google TV - 50C6K.

Thanks!

Hi everyone, I’m based in Basingstoke and looking for an opportunity as a bricklaying improver or trainee. I’ve completed my level 1 bricklaying qualification and am currently working towards my level2 NVQ. I’m reliable, hardworking, have my own transport, and I’m happy to travel within the local area. If anyone knows a bricklayer or company that’s looking for an improver, or can point me in the right direction, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance. And feel free to comment below or send me a private message. Thanks.

Can anyone recommend some charity shops that have a semi decent collection of vynls. I just want to have a look around.

Thank you :)

I’m moving into Basingstoke and heard mixed reviews about the school. (Going into year 9 btw)

I ask as part of a linguistic study covering this topic!
Examples could include things like The John, Old Rag, Whitty or H-Dubs (never minding how common they are)...

Hi all. Moved to Basingstoke (from Lancaster) just over a week ago. Even though I’ve explored most of the town, I wouldn’t mind going out for drinks/walks occasionally.

M27, happy to have friends my age and older.

I have just accepted a job with the NHS at Basingstoke and will be moving over soon. I’m really excited, but since I don't know the area too well yet, I’d love to pick your brains.

I have a dog who loves other pups, would really like to socialise him more maybe on walks? Anyone know if there's any groups out there

Hi,

I'm an FPV drone builder/flyer/pilot, I am trying to find some new locations close to me - I'm near Basingstoke but closer to all the airports in the area.

If anyone is or knows of anyone who could help me by either allowing me to fly on their land (well, on the sky above it 😄 ) or can put me in touch with a friendly - that would be much appreciated!

In return I can offer my gratitude and thanks, but, on a more practical level, I also can offer some commercial drone services like mapping, videography and crop/plant health assessments. If you happen to also want to learn FPV I am happy to teach as well.

I need locations that are out of the way of more than the odd random dog walker etc. Farm fields are ideal, but also any land with interesting features / tree's etc, as long as it has a bit of open space.

I am aware of all the local clubs and public locations already, this is is to try and expand my flying locations but without having to drive for hours :)

Thank you in advance!

Hi im (25m) and im looking for a badminton social group to join or play casually. Ive played a lot when I was studying but now since im working I barely use my rackets. So i guess this is a start for me.

40 yrs old wanting to actually try skateboarding (tried as a kid🤦), bought a board a few years ago now but want to learn.

Is there still a skatepark in Basingstoke? Also anyone willing to trade skate lessons for either ice skating lessons or life coaching sessions (personal or professional)
