If not Western Baths Members should get a rebate surely?

FYI
ANNUAL CLOSURE WORK 2015
Please note that the annual closure period has been confined to seven days from
Monday 23rd March. It is our intention to re-open on Monday 30th March. During
this period all members (excluding junior members who are not within a family
membership) can access the facilities at the Arlington Baths Club. Copies of
their timetables can be obtained from the office or found on their website.
Preparatory Work
To allow us to install the heat recovery system within the senior shower room
and roman plunge pool we need to impose restrictions on the use of this area
from Friday 19th March. Therefore, access to the plunge pool, shower room,
steam room, Russian room and tepidarium will not be available from Friday 19th
March.
There will be additional preparatory work starting 9th March carried out in the
attic space above the tepidarium but there should be little or no disruption to
members as a consequence.

Hi Isobel
I'd love to put my support behind Celia's proposal - I am a member of WB. Is
there something to sign beforehand or will it just be at the meeting on 18th,
where I can vote in favour?
Thanks

Hi Gregor,
Thanks for your support.
Can I suggest you put your efforts behind the proposal that Cecila has
submitted but has not been included on the AGM agenda. Basically Turkish as now
but limiting naturist use of pool and sauna to 9.15 to 10.45 allowing general
swimming from 11am. Plus giving us access to the sports hall. Promote the swim
to WBC members in a more positive way. This seems to be a fair and reasonable
compromise that balances the needs of different user groups.
My view and I think that of many of us who are not WBC members is there is no
time for more 'negotiations' with the WBC and that the strategy should be to
get the AGM to decide one way or another. Immediately after the AGM we need to
get back to the Arlington Baths to conclude discussions with them, as if the
swim does move there we have a lot to organise before 5 April.
Regards, Nick (but not sent from my email address).

Hi everyone, just to say that I will be setting up a petition for western bath
members to sign for presentation at the agm, it will be available next Sunday
for people to sign, it will call for the status quo, and for the board to
renegotiate with the club over terms. best wishes Gregor

Just catching up after a spell away. Congratulations and thanks to all who have
worked so hard so far.
On a personal note, as a WB member, I am not in favour of having to go to the
Arlington and pay an entrance fee, when I already pay a hefty annual fee to the
WB and have always had the Sunday morning swim included as part of my
membership, like every other member. I'll be attending the meeting on 18th
March at the WB. Do we have any further details on this yet?
Regards to all
Lorna

Please proceed with caution when making it obvious you are seeking Proxy Votes.
With 2,600 members the Committee can very easily amass a significant number of
proxies to ensure the motion fails. Cecilia was trying to obtain a copy of the
form and may well have copies available for Sunday. IvanSANER

[savetheswim] Re: Weekly Update Kerry, I'm a member too, not sure how we go
about proxy votes, it might be an idea to ask Mr Mann and or at the office. I'd
ask how to do it from Mr Mann first. The Gene is out the bag with the motion
being presented for the board. If you know other members go get them to come

Western baths. All the best Gregor Tassie

Hi All, Well done for all your efforts so far, and it is good to know that
there is a viable alternative, which, I agree is a sound possibility, although
I am not too keen on evenings, and especially as public transport is scanty or
non-existent on Sunday evenings.Is it though such a good deal for existing
members of the Baths, as they would need to pay, instead of having the swim as
part of their membership? If we go, I would like it be with a bang, or at least
a splash. Which could mean formulating and sending out a press release, which
could describe what has happened, and also possibly encourage more people to
attend and to promote naturist swimming. However, I still think that we should
pursue the issue with the WBC, and be strongly represented at the AGM, to make
members aware of the shabby and undemocratic way we have been treated. I have
had friends and families staying last and next week, but hope to get there
soon. Best wishes to all, Teena Teena Gould Ceramic & Public

Am unable to attend at Glasgow swim this week, but I support the Arlington
"offer". It seems to me to be much better to be welcomed there, than resented
at WBC. Donald

Plenty of News again this week!
1. We now have 44 subscribers to this list. If you know anyone else who would
like to join they can do so by sending an email to
savetheswim-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' (without the quotes) inthe
Subject field OR by visiting the list page at
//www.freelists.org/list/savetheswim
2. Some WBC members have submitted a proposal to the AGM on Wed 18 March,6pm.
They would appreciate the support of other WBC members at the AGM.
3. On Monday evening, Doug, Myra, Ishbel and myself met with the general
manager and Board chairperson at the Arlington Baths Club. We also had a tour
of the building. Based on our discussions, they are making a
recommendation to the Board at their meeting on Sunday 1 March and will
come back to us next week. We will share the details via this list and atthe
Sunday swim the following weekend.
The outline of what MAY be on offer seems to be:
Naturist use of pool, 2 x saunas, large Turkish suite, steam room and 2
lounges. There are large deep baths both in public areas and cubicles.
Noplunge pool but cold showers. Use of gym and we requested this be naturisttoo
as was the former arrangement at WBC but textile or clothing optional is likely
outcome. There is no sports hall.
Times Sunday 6 - 9pm plus time for dressing and building closing at 9.30pm
Price £10 per session, child £4
We found the atmosphere at the Arlington to be welcoming. The pool is
smaller than at WBC. The Turkish is exceptional. There is a poolside
sauna and another larger one upstairs. Some of the other areas appear in
need of upgrading but have a certain charm. The Board has a plan to carrythis
work out and also restore original features in due course as funds
allow.
We were told that the Arlington would actively promote the swim to it's
members and put no restrictions on us promoting it too.
The arrangement could in principle commence Sunday 5 April, would be for a3
month trial and would need to at least break even to continue.
I look forward to seeing you at the swim this Sunday or at Oran Mor at
1pm. Children are welcome but in that case we will need to move
downstairs to the seating area by the restaurant.
Nick
