I used the centre every week when it was open, for swimming and badminton mainly. It was always busy in the evenings but was badly ley down by North wilts leisure and in some ways the NWDC, who seemed to have no interest or control of what was happing to the centre.

When the centre re opens, it will be well used by the regulars and schools and money will be controlled independantly of any local council, which is great.

What the centre needs and has been doing is marketing and advertising. The centre at present is being upgraded (Yes i am helping too) and will feature upgraded facilties and new areas. A new bar and social area is being created and will be run by an independant brewery,i'm sure it will feature Sky T.v and hold regular sports evenings, thus creating a social venue not just for users of the centre but for locals wanting a decent place to have a few beers and watch the footy and a game of pool.

Also a new restaurant run by the "Patch of blue" cafe is to open, which will cater for people during the day, i guessed aimed at parents and familes during the afternoons and centre users in the evenings.

Anyway less of htis waffle.......... spread the word ..... i;'m sure it'll be great for the people of Calne, to have somewhere to call there own.

P.s I have heard the Blacklands centre is struggling and that St mary's is full to capacity with members........!

Anyway..... Spread the word that it is opening and will be great and hopefully people will use it

it is opening in the new year isnt it.?
how much is it to become a member?
i do hope it works ,it needs to have a bit fun injected into the place.
schools having it is fine but the timetable last time ment it was mostly schools and private partys using the pools.
and left very little time for public swimming.which was a shame.
hopefully that will change.
