The Competition will be his choice of the objects brought for valuation. We will share a light supper. Members are encouraged to bring guests, but please let Hazel McGrath know.

The village hall is one of the main hubs of the village and can only operate thanks to the sterling efforts of its dedicated committee. However, we are all getting older and need new members to safeguard the future running of the hall.
We meet around four times a year, look after the hall, stage the children’s sports day and several fundraising events in the year.
Our next meeting is at the hall on Wednesday 16 October at 7.30pm. We would love to see you there. Thanks.

Swimming Pool Redevelopment Updates
With generous grants of £5,000 from the Hadfield Trust and £30,000 from Cumbria Waste Management Environmental Trust, plus all the fund raising efforts so far we have raised enough money to deliver most of what we want with the pool buildings re-building project. All being well, the contractor will start on site in early October.
The project still needs more funds to furnish the café and carry out other works. “Buy a Brick” will therefore remain open for any generous donors until the end of October. Please go to www.greystokepool.org.uk for further details.

Greystoke Swimming Pool Volunteers Evening and AGM
Please put Wednesday 11 December at 7.30pm in your diary (venue to be confirmed). That evening we are starting with a brief AGM and then will have a thank you evening for all the wonderful volunteers that helped keep the pool running this year.
Memories of Greystoke Pool and Playing Fields
As we move towards our refurbishment of the pool buildings over the winter, the Greystoke Pool Committee has been reflecting on how it all started.
When we have the new café next season, we would like to be able to put up a display to document the history of the pool and playing fields. We thought it would be interesting for local users and visitors to know about the origins of our wonderful pool and the playing fields. We are also thinking about a display book covering the history since the lease for the land was signed in 1966 and the pool was built in 1973.
So, if anyone has any information, memories or photographs of the building of the pool, or the wonderful times they have spent in it over the years, please would they share them with us to add to the display.
Lesley Lamb has kindly offered to gather all the interesting material; so if you have anything to share or know who will, please contact Lesley.
