Our fundraising campaign for the new boiler has been featured in the local papers, and the articles can be read online. The Wilts and Gloucestershire Standard went with the headline Please help to save town pool, and the Gloucestershire Echo with Fundraisers take plunge for pool. Great articles!

A huge thank you to Northleach Club
,
,
Here's an excerpt from a letter from Alf Worsfold, a director of Northleach Club Ltd., the company that runs the Pavilion.
Woo hoo! What a tremendous boost to our fundraising efforts. Thank you Northleach Club Ltd.
On behalf of Northleach Club Limited I have great pleasure in advising you that we will make a donation of £1,000 to your fund raising to assist with the purchase of a new boiler. With it go our very best wishes to all the team who are working so hard to preserve a valuable community asset, just as we did some 2 years ago when we first started our efforts to resurrect the sports and social club. (I have been caught twice by your collectors so far - once in the wine bar and then by Marge my neighbour in Crail View - keep up the good work !!)
Woo hoo! What a tremendous boost to our fundraising efforts. Thank you Northleach Club Ltd.

Your new committee
,
,
We had a fabulous turn-out for the AGM last night. Thank you to everyone who came or sent messages of support. For those who are wondering, your new committee members are:
Lucy Jackson, Chair
Pauline Rigby, Secretary
Claire Burditt, Treasurer
Jill Manning, Fundrasing Co-ordinator
Terri Morely-Blackwell, Chief Lifeguard
We also raised £100 on the night, and a further £150 was pledged.
A huge thank you to the outgoing chair, Terri, who has done the most amazing job keeping us all motivated and positive over the last six months, despite setbacks like the boiler. She also printed and distributed leaflets to the whole of Northleach yesterday, which goes well beyond the call of duty, especially at 28 weeks pregnant. Thank you Terri!
The minutes will be circulated as soon as they are ready. (Note to self, must type faster).
UPDATE: Minutes are available here.

AGM - 8pm Wednesday 27 April
,
,
The AGM of Friends of Northleach Swimming Pool will take place at 8pm, Wednesday 27 April, in the Midwinter Room at the Westwoods Centre. The Town Council has very kindly let us have use of the room for free.
By the time we meet, the pool equipment should have been inspected and tested, so we should know the lay of the land this year. We’ve fixed one burst pipe caused by the harsh winter. Hopefully, the boiler will pass its annual service. Fingers crossed!
This is the meeting where the three Officers get elected for the next 12 months. Claire and I are happy to continue volunteering for the pool, but we need at least one other person to join the Committee, either as Chair, or Secretary, depending on where their skills lie. Don’t worry, we won’t drop newcomers in at the deep end! If you know anyone who would be interested, please invite them along. They don’t need to be a parent at the school; we welcome anyone from the local area who is willing to help us keep things going.
The agenda for the meeting is as follows:
1. Welcome to new faces
2. Heads of Agreement
3. Pool equipment update
4. Fundraising for 2011
5. Election of Officers
6. AOB
If there’s anything else you would like to add to the agenda, just let me know.
Thanks and see you there!
UPDATE: Did anyone spot the deliberate mistake? Election of officers has been added to the agenda.

Northleach has an open air swimming pool, which is ideal for helping young children gain confidence in the water. Located next to Northleach Primary School, the pool is open from the end of May. Friends of Northleach Swimming Pool manages the pool and raises the money needed to keep it going.
