Happy New Year !

Things are progressing and we are in somewhat of a challenging but very exciting stage!
We are still forging forwards with our plans to reconfigure the swimming pool into a 25m pool together with a separate learner pool which balances the needs and wants of the community with the best chance of financial sustainability (cost vs revenue).

We continue to work with architects, surveyors and pool plant professionals to guide our business plan and the design and costings.

As stated previously, we will need to raise considerable capital by way of grants and/or external funding which we will keep applying for and we continue to seek and identify possible opportunities.
In the meantime, and in tandem, we are working on the ‘ meanwhile’ plan – how we use the building in the short term before the new pool can be built – see, we said it was exciting!

Our priority is to get the gym/fitness space up and running (if viable) and we would also like to best utilise the space (both indoor and outdoor) and work with local groups, organisations and individuals to get people back up to Ships and Castles, enjoying the space and the lovely headland.

We will soon need volunteers to step up to help us please, and will post when we identify the need for specific skills and other help.

Our first community meeting is planned for Monday January 16th (6:30-8:30pm at Falmouth Rugby Clubhouse) and we look forward to seeing everyone again, and to hearing and sharing ideas and letting you know our plans.
If you can help us or have any ideas, please do get in touch with us.

This is the interim/ ‘meanwhile’ project and whilst we do not have funds to spend, we do believe that we can make the space work for the community and fit with our ethos and the aims of the long-term vision.
We look forward to seeing as many of you who can make it on 16th January!

Thank you
Team PL
