AGM

Just a last gasp reminder and if you're at a loose end - the AGM of the Herne Hill Music Festival takes place tonight at 7.30pm (Mon 20th Jan) at 20 Elfindale Road, Herne Hill SE24 9NW. Chance for you to hear about the outcome of the 2013 Festival and plans for 2014. All welcome.

Not to be missed. The big one. The BLU Forum! Whether you're a regular or casual user, or someone who's never been to the Lido!

Public Meeting and A.G.M.

There is a special public meeting on April 24th devoted to the topic of the future of our high streets. It will also be our annual A.G.M.

7.00 p.m. Herne Hill Baptist Church, Half Moon Lane (corner of Half Moon Lane and Winterbrook)

Over the years the role of our high street within our local economy and neighbourhood has been undergoing major changes. Herne Hill has had a high number of independent traders many of whom have been here for decades. 

You don't have to be a cyclist or a Wiggo fan to attend the AGM for the Herne Hill Velodrome Friends. Join! Vote! Help shape the future of the Velodrome. All welcome.

There will be works in the Lido spa from 1-9 November. These works will be on the hydrotherapy pool and there are signs posted listing works planned at the Lido. These works were brought up at the Forum/AGM on Saturday. Fusion staff informed us after the Lido Forum that sauna/steamroom use should not be impacted during this period, but we will doublecheck. The Forum was useful with a decent turnout although as usual, not many spa users on hand! A few pictures from the event below. Here are the hydrotherapy pool planned works:

• The filter media will be changed and the filter is to be refurbished, including changing the media to Zeoclere which requires less water to backwash.

• Both circulation pumps are going to be replaced (they are both operational but one is at risk)

• A new balance tank level control will be installed.

• The Air jets and air blower will be altered to operate on fixed time sequence.

• The Feature pumps will also run on a fixed time sequence to remove the potential of static water.

• The balance tank will be cleaned.

Saturday, 24th September.  If you are a Lido fan: -fitness fanatic, swimmer, spa user, cafe lounger, or Whippersnappers family you will be warmly welcomed to the annual forum where your views can be expressed to Fusion, Lambeth and BLU and you can hear up to date news about all things Lido.
