contrary to rumour Blackheath Pool is well used

@Tip of the iceberg: a note on Pool patronage - contrary to rumour Blackheath Pool is well used. See our many blog posts on the matter, for example “crowds flock to Pool for OzDay” http://ow.ly/ciS5v and “New Years Day attendance topped 600” http://ow.ly/ciSib

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

New Years Day attendance topped 600...

...as the air temperature topped 32C.

Today's a little cooler ;)
At 11:30AM the lap pool was a very pleasant 22.8C, while the air was 14.8C

Happy New Year 2011 everyone.
