POLITE REQUEST : Children in the Pool.
Due to a number of recent 'accidents' in the pool during Family Splash we would remind all parents and guardians that children under the age of 3 who are still in nappies MUST wear 'Plop Stop' baby swim nappies. If your child does not have one, we reserve the right to refuse admission. The Lifeguard or Duty Manager will make that decision. We do of course have them for sale at Reception or poolside. I am sure you understand the reasoning behind this and I would like to thank you for your cooperation.

Christmas Guest Vouchers
And finally, don't forget to bring along a friend during the festive season and right through to 17 January 2009 using your complimentary passes sent along with your Christmas Card.

We look forward to seeing you and your friends in the Club.

Merry Christmas
