Croeso! Welcome!
COVID 19 – Update 18/02/2021
Currently we have no definitive date as to when we can reopen. Recent announcements by the First Minister seem to indicate possible easing of some restrictions by Easter, but that as he said would be dependent on a number of factors. It is also unlikely that full lockdown restrictions will be lifted in the immediate future with authorities warning people to be wary of booking summer holidays at the present time.
As regards to the centre the climbing wall can open immediately once it is allowed, this also applies to the cafe subject to getting the required stock in place. We were able to open the climbing wall during November and December, with the cafe opening for just a week prior to Christmas. All the Covid-19 policies and risk assessments were in place and everything worked fine.
The swimming pool will take longer. Currently the pool is still empty which has helped reduce our energy cost during the lockdown significantly. Prior to opening the pool some refurbishment works needs to be carried out on the dosing mechanisms and pumps which can only be done once the pool is full again.
But significant work has been done and continues to be done at the centre. Internally the whole area has been refurbished with new flooring, painting, new windows etc. Work has and will be carried out on servicing the two Air Handling Units; the filtration system has been serviced. Work will continue on refurbishing the offices, changing rooms and once into Spring on the outside space.
We are though still keen to boost the numbers of volunteer directors on the HAL board – please get in touch. It is a great way to give back to the community and support a resource which needs greater volunteer input for the board to keep the resource going.
