We will be using the same lock this year therefore if you haven’t returned your key to the Trading Post please be honest and pay for the new season and let the girls know your key number.
We don’t get a lot of funding for the pool. The cost of the keys pays for the heat pump to keep the pool nice and warm.

We are looking for some more helpers this year for taking covers off early morning and put on in evening etc. Please get in contact with Naomi 0274649182 if you’re able to help.
