Thinking about fundraising...

Fund raising must start soon. To keep the swimming pool open in 2010, we need to raise money for oil to heat the pool, chemicals to keep it clean, chemical training and water safety courses for parents and teachers who help supervise the pool, and other essential running costs. So far this year we have already needed to pay for a boiler service and burst pipe.

The thermometer shows our progress towards the target of £3000 - this is the amount needed to keep the pool open in 2010. We've just started so it's showing zero, but we'll keep you updated on our progress. We plan to keep a fundraising thermometer on display at the school.

Right now we cannot receive donations online, sorry. If you wish to make a donation please contact the treasurer.

New committee appointed

At a meeting on Wednesday 24th March, Friends of Northleach Swimming Pool appointed a new committee to run the pool for the 2010 season. They are:

Chair: Alex Mustoe
Secretary: Pauline Rigby
Treasurer: Claire Burditt

The pool costs in excess of two thousand pounds a year to run and at the moment there is no money in the bank account! After much discussion and several good ideas being suggested it was decided that a separate fund raising committee was needed. Lots of people volunteered - a great start!

Thank you to the outgoing committee - Fiona Eggerton, Wendy Crouch and Claire Hemming - for all their hard work keeping the pool open in recent years.
