Great turnout at the AGM on Sunday - Thank you and great to have some new energy on the committee. We have a new treasurer Sheldon Aitken and she will have the pool rules and forms available soon. It is absolutely necessary to have the rules and forms signed before gaining access. The forms will be available at Kissing Gate Cafe after 22 October but also at the opening of the pool on 22 October at 3pm.

The AGM agreed to an increase in fees given that power has gone up 40% to $14000 pa.

Families are now $200.
Singles are now $125.

Payments can be made to:

even if you don’t want to be on the committee but happy to help out with covers please turn up- it just takes a few more - especially those in the township to be available to help that would make a big operational difference- it simply isn’t sustainable to have so few driving two or three times a day to keep it open.

🚨 MIDDLEMARCH SWIMMING POOL COULD CLOSE — WE NEED YOU! 🚨

🏊‍♀️ Will our community have a swimming pool this summer? That decision is in YOUR hands.

The chlorinators are on, the covers are on, and the heat pump is running. The pool is getting ready for summer… but there’s one very important piece missing — COMMUNITY SUPPORT!

Several committee members are standing aside, and without new volunteers and community members stepping up, the future of our pool is uncertain. Without enough people willing to help, the pool may not open this season.

This pool is more than just somewhere to swim. It’s a place for our kids to learn, families to enjoy summer, and our community to come together. We risk losing all of that if we can’t get enough people involved.

💥 THE FUTURE OF THE POOL RESTS WITH US.

📅 AGM — THIS SUNDAY AT 1PM

📍 Come along, have your say, share some ideas, and find out how you can help keep our pool open.

🙌 You don’t need to be an expert or commit every spare hour. Every bit of help counts. Parents, pool users, families, and older kids who are able to help — we need you!

Please don’t assume someone else will step up. If you want the pool open this summer, now is the time to show your support.

❤️ No community support means the pool may not open. Let’s work together to make sure it does!

👉 PLEASE SHARE THIS POST and help spread the word. Middlemarch, we need you! 🏊‍♂️☀️

That’s a wrap - pool is now closed for the season - thank you all for your support especially with the extra fundraising. Dont stop moving - check out the gym and Pilates, or cycling and walking - we are so lucky to have all these things so available to us

We hope that the local children in the Otago Swimming Championships do well today.
This is usually the last week of swimming. Given Easter is next week and the weather looks good for Thursday and Friday at least we have decided to open the pool next Thursday and Friday and then close it for the season (unless the forecast improves for the weekend). If you are one of those who assists with covers you can arrange to take them off and put them on for a swim during the week - but essentially the pool will NOT be open during this week until Thursday.
BIG THANKS TO Mary Suddaby and Steph Macaulay and their helpers for the amazing fundraising this year. PAT ON THE BACK to all those doing the covers and to Nikki Hall for daily water testing, and Mark Lindsay who quietly keeps everything else running smoothly and Bruce for keeping it clean. Many hands make lighter work and we have a great team supporting us. Thank you all for joining up.
