[letter to BM Gazette, printed 17-Nov-2010]
Dear Sir/Ms,
We seek to correct the misconception about poor attendance levels at Blackheath Pool (BMG p.1 10-Nov-10).
The Pool has frequently been CLOSED half of the day!
Since re-opening in February 2006, at no time has The Pool been open consistently.
We have had split-shifts, late opening, early closing – a different set of hours each season.
FoBP&MP has worked hard with BM Leisure Centres staff to ensure this season will be different.
There are to be no mixed messages about opening times.
This season The Pool will be OPEN FULL TIME.
We know consistency is critical - we hear the complaints from visitors & locals alike.
Full-time opening hours and a concerted promotional push is expected to significantly increase both community and tourist patronage.
There’s extraordinary community goodwill for Blackheath Pool, we want to make it a successful & financially viable season.
As soon as it opens, come on down everyone & enjoy a swim - all day, every day til 7PM.
Regards,
convenors, Friends of Blackheath Pool & Memorial Park
