URGENT APPEAL FROM CHINNOR SWIMMING POOL !

Chinnor Community Swimming Pool committee have been busy getting the pool ready for 2019. Over the winter we have been updating the changing rooms with a new roof, new flooring, new heaters and new benches and we also had to have a new sand filter in the plant room, all of which has been expensive and we have spent in the region of £8,000!

All this work was planned and the money was allocated BUT then unfortunately as we had our first oil delivery of the season the underground pipe has spilt!!

Luckily the oil tank is full and we can open the pool at the end of April as planned, BUT we cannot have any more oil delivered until the pipe is replaced, the oil will last 6 -8 weeks so we plan to have the work completed during the June half term, this is going to be another big expense and will cost £7,500!! The pool funds are running low and the pool committee will be doing everything we can to raise funds by putting on fundraising events and applying for grants to keep the pool open for the whole community to enjoy but we are also asking for your help.

Any contributions will be greatly received. All money donated will go entirely to keep the pool open.

Thank you in advance for your continuing support.
