Dulwich Baths - refurbishment timetable

[James Barber]

I've received an email from the councils project officer stating official opening weekend after next 25/26 September with a family fun day.

So only 12 days to go.

[Steph]

Is there going to be Softplay? Sorry I dont have time to go through the whole thread. Thanks Steph

[James Barber]

YES.

[Mick Mac]

Are you shouting?

[catzac]

does anyone know when they are releasing a timetable for the pool and opening times etc? looked at the fusion website and there is nothing on there yet. They haven't evening got the opening weekend of the 25th on there yet...

[James Barber]

Hi catzac,

No i don't but will ask again and come back asap with answer when i have it.

[James Barber]

The Dulwich Pool reopens next Friday the 24 September starting at 6.30am.

I've attached the timetable that starts then.

I've also attached the studioe and pricing leaflets.

[Weegee]

opening day for dulwich swimming bath is friday 25th september, chek out southwark council web page.

[James Barber]

Hi suie,

I've been assured it re opens on FRIDAY 24 September at 6.30am - not Friday 25th as you've stated.

I've confirmed this with council officers and Fusion manager on site.

[bon3yard]

The 25th falls on a Saturday. Whatever, I'm just glad we've got our pool back. :))

[James Barber]

Exactly my point.

What's [rpbably caused this confusion is that it practically opens for public use from 6.30am FRIDAY 24 September BUT the family open weekend is the weekend 25 & 26 September.

Attached photo of the inside of the new Dulwich Pool. Afraid the three ED councillors as foreground interest.

Shows white pool cover to keep as much heat in the water as possible when the pool isn't in use. New insulated roof. New latterns and uplighters. It looked fab last week when photo taken with what appeared trivial details in reception area left to complete - taking plastic covers of the recptionist seat, etc. Only three more days until it reopens.

[Mick Mac]

Who is the big chap on the left blocking the view? ;-)

Apart from that, looks great.

Wanted to clarify - there'll be a creche but not a softplay area.

[James Barber]

Hi tommy,

Yes, creche and softplay and cafe and viewing area.

[tommy]

Hi James - must be crossed wires. I was told by the General Manager today that the "softplay" was a typo on the invite - but that they'll have a creche.

Looking forward to it though.

[Weegee]

James it looks really nice inside!!

Are you going to be the very first one to dive into the new Dulwich Pool at 6.30 am this Friday morning??

[James Barber]

Hi Weegee,

Unfortunately not. I do school drop of on Fridays.

[IrishDancer]

It looks great,cant wait to test the pool out!

[James Barber]

To wet your appetite and again apologies for the foreground 'interest'.....

078 taken in the pool at a slightly different angle.

079 taken of the reception area.

Apologies for blocking the picutres quite so much.

[chrisz]

so is the gym going to be completely closed while the refurb is underway?
