Scilly trip report
Read Laura Crowley's report from the Scilly Isles, June 2010:
Use of mats/rafts in pool
There have been a number of instances in the pool recently of people (mainly children) using the large coloured floats/rafts that are to be found around the poolside area in the pool. The use of these floats/rafts has been causing inconvenience to swimmers and divers, preventing them from swimming and practising diving skills.
These items are the property of the Ridgeway Leisure Centre and we do not have permission to use them. Therefore, these items are not to be used by club members, families or guests.
The club's weekly pool session and clubroom meeting take place at the Ridgeway Leisure
centre in Wroughton on Wednesday evenings.
The time schedule is:
Arrive and unload kit - 19:45
Pool session - 20:00 to 22:00
Clubroom social - 20:00 to 22:00
We have use of the pool and the clubroom for the full two hours.
The address of the leisure centre is: Inverary Road, Wroughton, SN4 9DJ
