On 15th May, Mansell and Malcolm visited the Leisure Centre Site on the invitation of Mike Locke, NKDC Council. We were shown the latest working drawings and given a progress report on how the work is proceeding. We also had a look inside the site. Points from the visit as follows:
1. The pool has been completely stripped out and the profile changed to give a larger shallow area before it dips away towards the deep end.
2. The internal walls have all been removed so that the new layout can be incorporated.
3. The old dressing rooms have gone and in their place will be a new 'changing village'. The area is unisex with cubicles and separate showers. This is no problem for us but one of the visitors was somewhat worried by this arrangement.
4. The remaining bit of the outside yard has been incorporated into the building and contains the Sauna, Steam and a children's splash pool. The design for the splash pool is wonderful, children will love it.
5. The gym now extends into the old studio so it is L shaped
6. The new studio is in what was the gents changing room, this gives a slightly larger area than before.
7. Wet and dry side are completely separated and only one access to the pool will increase safety.
8. Most important. The facility
will re-open in October. See the new dates for the Club below.
The
Sleaford Leisure Centre is due to be back in operation in October. With this in mind here are the dates for the
end of this Year.
