MAY I through your newspaper thank everyone who recently took part in the annual Thamesdown Hydrotherapy Pool Association Swimathon.

Their efforts have raised £4,622.70 with a small amount still to come in, a truly magnificent achievement. The total will increase further when Gift Aid were appropriate is claimed. All the money will be used to help all those who use the pool now and in the future.

The trustees, committee and staff of the Hydrotherapy Pool Association would like to wish all our pool users and supporters a very Merry Christmas and Prosperous New Year and look forward to your continued support in 2004 our Silver Anniversary year.

Pool Manager, Thames-down Hydrotherapy Pool Association
