**January 2024, after an unsuccessful**
**attempt finding a private company to take**
**over the centre, closure was confirmed.**
**Initio Trust (who run QE School) will take**
**over the running of the pool from**
**01/04/2024 and although there will be no**| **public use clubs such as ours will be permitted to hire the pool (providing own lifeguards). After works that needed to be completed the pool is planned to reopen – date to be notified by Initio Trust. The club searched for a local pool offering exclusive hire but this was not possible so until the pool at QE reopens the Club will swim at Ferndown Leisure Centre in a public session on Saturday afternoon.** ## **Structure, Governance and Management** |Description of charity’s
