Despite other people saying about alternatives, gyms don't grow on trees, I'd have thought it would be quite a challenge to find something suitable for the youngsters and locally.
Told them what? Maybe that they should take their money elsewhere? Perhaps they were given the impression that there would not be ANY boys at the school and that is why they PAID their money in the first place. Ultimately it's the PARENTS' (who pay the money) decisions as to what happens to the school; seeing they are the ones PAYING the money.

To be frank, if my children's school had a governor (or councillor, depending on which newspaper you belive in) as ignorant as the one reported here, I would not want them going there at all.
