Swimclub thread on Broomhill Pool

Back in December 2005  I started a thread on the Swimclub website for Broomhill Pool
http://www.swimclub.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=4450&page=20

It's had over 25,000 views now and 20 pages have accumulated as the years went by!  Nobody in the campaign group imagined that we would still be plodding on now, with a decade of continuous campaigning coming up in 2012.

Thankfully things seem to be looking up: the Broomhill Pool site was re-advertised on commercial leisure sites just before Christmas 2010 with the offer of a possible contribution of up to £1million from IBC (Ipswich Borough Council). The council have stipulated that the pool must be retained as part of any development of the site.

It's been a hard slog but hopefully future generations (see photo) will be able to enjoy the lido once more.
