It’s a sunny Saturday and six of us headed to the Lido (4 of us after a morning swim and salsa) where we have been regular helping keeping the site clean and maintained whilst it’s closed this season. Paul soon set us to work on our list of tasks. Ellie wire brushed the gate area near the storage area so that it would be ready for painting. Sarah was in charge of the inventory of the equipment that is used for the pool, e.g lane dividers, kayaks and life vests etc and started sorting out the room getting rid of anything that didn’t make sense to keep. Sam was armed with the metal paint and headed towards the gate to paint around that area. Katie and Dr Jo were tackling some stubborn weeds around the perimeter of the Lido and removing those. Jo North headed into the ladies armed with cleaning products to tackle the mildew on the doors and cubicles. After 2 hours we were done and we headed off to get a drink and a snack before venturing home in the sun.

We’re back at the Lido again next weekend. Sign up here.
