Wycombe District Ramblers joined forces with members of Trinity United Reformed Church and the Holywell Mead Group on the 12th December to show their support to save Holywell Mead Pool from permanent closure.
Mandy Williams, a member of the Wycombe branch of the Ramblers Association, organised a 5-mile walk that started from the front doors of the closed pool and finished at the newly refurbished Church for a special carol service.
Mrs Williams has been using the pool since she moved to the area 26 years ago, and used to take her children there when they were young.
Nearly 3000 people lent their support and their names to the pool group’s petition earlier this year. Mandy had 66 names added to the petition by members of the Ramblers Association.
“There is clearly a lot of local affection for this pool. People are upset that the pool was not open this year with the lovely weather we had – it would have been great for families on a tight budget this year”
