A fundraiser has been set up in his memory
The volunteers who run Metheringham Swimming Pool have been overwhelmed with donations and the support of the local community as they prepare to reopen the much-loved facility later this month.
The first water went back into the pool during the evening of Tuesday, August 16. It will take about a week to fill then a few more days to get it up to temperature ahead of the pool’s reopening on Saturday, August 27. An additional £5,000 in funding was needed to move ahead with repairs, and the local and wider community rallied to exceed this total by raising over £8,500. With grants also awarded the total reached £11,000.
MB Resin Driveways laid the resin flooring around the whole poolside, not just the edges. The team from Struere UK and Alan from AC Ceramic Tiling worked to tile the pool. “It’s been like a soap opera, which we joked would be called The Pool. Every time something happened we had another obstacle to overcome.
