Those looking forward to a dip in the Norman Kirk Memorial Swimming Pool have only days to wait. The pool opens at 6:30am on Tuesday 27 October.
Final preparations are underway, with our new lifeguards completing their training this week. The car park opposite the fire station has been extended, levelled and gravelled and the fence on the Queen Street side has been replaced in readiness for a new Bill Scott mural.
