What a way to finish our End-of-Season Splash Up! 💦💙

‼️Sunday splash up important update.

Today (27th) the poolside poetry workshop (10-11.30) and synchro swimmers (2.30-2.45) *ARE GOING AHEAD* at Stroud’s Lido - plus there is exciting stuff happening the park, too (see below).

🌧️ sadly the forecast of rain showers means we simply can’t risk our DJs equipment, so we’ve had to agree to POSTPONE the Jazz Stroud DJ session til next season at the Lido. So sorry for any disappointment / inconvenience. Hopefully by next season we’ll have a better DJ shelter!

💦 In the mean time - do come and join us at Stratford Park Lido anyhow:🏊💙🏊

🤩 2.30pm to see the Synchro Stingrays, a light-hearted synchro swimming group
🏊‍♂️or simply come for a last dip

☕️ and / or a cup of tea at the lido cafe.
🛟 come and say thank you to the lifeguards, without whom we wouldn’t have been able to enjoy the pool this summer!

👉 and we at SOLS would love to see you to thank you for YOUR support, too ! 💙

✍️ You’ve also still - just - got time to book in for today’s 10am poetry writing workshop (last few spaces available) - which will be poolside under an awning, with the back up of moving to the Museum in the Park if needed, though we don’t anticipate that.

👏Suitable for all levels including beginners, form at the bottom of this webpage: https://www.adamhorovitz.co.uk/readings-and-workshops

Just pay for normal (£5.50) swimming entrance fee at the gate (actually swimming or not, during or after, is entirely your choice!).

💦The pool will be open all day (til 5.30) for the last Sunday of the season -
🌳 in the surrounding park, there is also
🎺 Big Band music at the bandstand 2-4pm
🚂 & last but not least - the miniature railway is running all afternoon!

So the forecast may not be perfect - but we hope we might see you anyway💙
