The Pool is entered in the RBS CommunityForce Awards, which means that we could be awarded £6,000 to buy new lockers for next season!

If we’re successful, we could buy 35 large (900mm) lockers or 22 large and 15 medium (600mm) easy-clean lockers with secure locks operated by £1 coins. They would be both family-friendly and also ideal for those of us who would like a swim on the way home from work, and have “posh clothes” to hang. Read more here

And another feature of RBS CommunityForce is that both RBS staff and other people – like you and us – can also volunteer to help through the same website. Click here to see more.

Could you give some time to help the Friends of the Pool? We’re looking for volunteers who can give some spare time to get the Pool ready for the new season, and if physical work’s not your thing, then we also really, really (really!) need people to help the Committee with organising all sorts of things including admin/sorting out our database of existing and potential volunteers to help with hands-on physical work at the Pool from February 2012, the computer-based tasks to ensure we stay in contact with our supporters, and also develop the kids’ fun sessions from summer 2011 to include sessions for everyone in 2012!

And of course, also all-important fundraising – in addition to the new lockers, we also need to raise £16,000 for new, more efficient, pool covers to keep heat in (and flies and seagull poo etc out!) overnight.
