Chairman’s report – AGM RLCP

This year has been a significant year of change for the pool. I said in my farewell speech to Alan that the pool had undergone change in nearly all aspects. The time has come for many of these changes to come again. For example, the filters, the flooring, the pool cover are items ready for their next chapter. On that vein, one item not on that list significantly is the pool’s boilers. A major expense, made possible with thanks to the National Lottery and to Liza Cox for their efforts in a grant application; A further thanks to all involved in getting it fitted cost effectively. It’s an avenue I hope the pool and Liza will continue to pursue to help make it the best place for our local community.

There is also a thanks due to the community and staff for their collective enthusiasm and effort at a previous staff and committee meetings. This has resulted in pool donations thanks to Izzy Mcleod and the Foresters Care Grant; continued support from Katrina Thorman and her team for looking at the flooring; Antulio Tarazona for his cost effectiveness review of the Solar Panels; Tony Underwood for his general assistance and also ‘paving’ the way for more parking spaces with some help on getting trees cut down; Alana Broadbent for help with digital engagement; Daniel Bedingfield for utilising his initiative for adult swim lessons and taking on sub-committee Marketing leadership. I could go on and apologies to any due credit, please do take it up with me.

In terms of staffing the pool has endeavoured to hire more full-time life guards to ensure consistency and also taken steps to recognise efforts of its members. In the last year, Layna Thorn has really made her presence felt at the pool and stepped up to assist in all kinds of matters.

This leads me to cover more details on the change; this was Alan Ayles last year before retirement which he did in the early part of 2025. Steps were taken in December and January to secure a replacement, the screening led by Alan led to two interviews which resulted in an initial appointment of long-term employee of the pool Georgia Morris, she was given a challenging task and is stepping down in mid-October. By summer, with oversight from the directors Anna and myself, with invitations and feedback from the committee, we undertook a second hiring process for the role. As a result, I’d like to welcome on-board Carolyn Lock who comes with a glowing reference and many years’ experience in the local pool space.

It was not just the manager role due to change however as, after a significant tenure Penny Cooper and Lynda Wilton have diligently supported the pool in innumerable ways, particularly in recent years with payroll and they advised with Alan retiring it was their time to do so also. They did this capacity voluntarily and the pool owes them a great debt of gratitude. Similarly, Vernon James who has been a wonderful contributor as the pool accountant is making his last contribution this year and we cannot stress enough how much we value the time and attention the three of them have given.

The year also had the change in National minimum wage, which under new staff undertaking payroll was a significant challenge to address which the team handled admirably, a big thank you also to my fellow director Anna Gibson as well as Gill Gulliver for persevering through. In preparation, in January we gave a much needed but difficult to ask 10% rise to our clients which was received with no issue, a sign of our commitment and perhaps needed revision, a careful review for next year will be needed also to ensure the pool remains charitable but effective.

With the new year we can look on with optimism with a determined pool manager, a supportive committee and passionate staff who all make the place what it is and of course our community who have loved the pool for so many years and I’ve no doubt will continue to. There will be significant costs with some physical and accounting but with grants, support and new leadership, I hope 2026 and beyond is where the pool will flourish.
