Poolside e-news No.3

Welcome to a Poolside e-news focussed on attendance.

• as you’d know we suddenly have a flush of summer – water temperatures over recent days have hovered close to 25C;
• both memberships & casual visits are up over previous years;
• season-wide patronage has been better than expected considering variable weather;
• an indication of high patronage is the kiosk completely running out of stock last weekend!!
• yesterday 150-odd thru gate;
• perhaps BMCC/FoBP&MP hard work on promoting The Pool is paying off at last?
• we hope tomorrow - Australia Day - will see patronage close to records set on New Year’s Day ;)
• Pool Supervisor Jake Burton will provide detailed patronage statistics to FoBP&MP meeting on 10 February;
• part of the lawn is well enough to open this afternoon, and with luck all will open tomorrow;
• as an bonus the magnolia tree is in full bloom wafting heavy perfume on the breezes;
• Come on down The Pool & enjoy
