Community Swimming Pool:
We're OPEN for the summer!!
SWIMATHON
Entries are now open for our sponsored 24 hour swim, to raise funds for our beautiful pool.
It will start at 10-30am on Saturday 26th June.
You can book an hours lane slot and take the family, however at least one person MUST been swimming up and down for it to count.
Further details here.
The 2021 Pool Programme goes as far as 21st June for now, until government requirements are confirmed.
As we all know, COVID restrictions are still very much with us, so the pool is initially being operated in a similar way to to 2020 season, with all session places having to be booked in advance. Please go to our Swimming Pool page for much more information and to book sessions.
Thanks to all of you who completed our Feedback Survey at the end of last season and we have taken the responses into account in compiling the programme and user arrangements.
Community School Hall:
Use of the hall continues to be significantly influenced by the changes in the COVID rules, tiers and the level of positive COVID tests in school staff and pupils. Regular hirers will continue to be contacted by the Bookings Secretary when circumstances change. From 17 May, sessions with over 18s can again use the hall.
3 Ways for you to Donate to Chudleigh Community Project
If you are able, we would appreciate you supporting us financially. This could be by cash donation, nominating us to benefit from Amazon Smile purchases or nominating us to benefit from the Co-op Community Fund. Details of how to do this are here.
Thanks to the Co-op Local Community Fund, we have received £3,824 towards our new disabled hoist. That's our share of the 1% of the total bill for Co-op branded products that you Chudleigh shoppers have bought over the last year. We've still got to raise some more money before we can buy it, so it's unlikely to be available for our 2021 season.
