You may or may not be aware that our local open air heated pool "Billinghay and district Community Pool" is threatened with closure because of high fuel costs. (BBC article here)
Now we fully appreciate that high fuel costs is a worldwide problem but we are talking of a volunteer run and maintained community facility which uses funds to cover it's costs... If they were to raise their prices 215% to cover their fuel increase then no-one would come!!!
As well as a tv appeal, the children of the village are participating in sponsored swims on various days to 'fill the coffers' so that we may have a pool to use this summer!
Matthew will be doing his swim on Monday 7th July and if anyone would like to sponsor him we would greatly appreciate it. (just contact me: b5kidz at gmail.com)
Alternatively you could simply make a kindly donation!
Thank you all.
