How time flies ........

Our community swimming pool was closed on March 31st 2022.

Pendennis Community Centre has been open for 7 months now thanks to our team of amazing volunteers who have turned a decommissioned site into a welcoming, clean and safe community centre. Every week over 200 people already use the community centre for a selection of fitness and wellbeing activities and since opening we have hosted over 700 classes, meetings or events for a diverse range of community groups.

In addition, the community cafe has been open every morning serving teas, coffees, cakes and other treats to the community.

But that’s not the full aim of course – whilst running our “meanwhile” operations, we are also focused on the future and our need for a pool which is what forms our “Future Focus” Project.

Our trustees have recently shared our design proposals with Falmouth Town Council, UK and Falmouth Civic Society for a multi purpose community hub and healthy living centre with a 25m swimming pool at its heart.

We will be sharing and discussing these at our latest Pendennis Community Meeting on Tuesday 16th April at 6.30pm at Pendennis Community Centre (formerly known as Ships and Castles).

We’d love to see you there, please come along and engage, participate and support.

Thank you.

Richard Wilcox of the Falmouth Tall Ships organisers said; ‘There has been a phenomenal interest in visiting the Falmouth Tall Ships on the docks already, and as a result, we are currently experiencing very long queues. Today is now SOLD OUT for the ships visits on the docks. Pre-ticket purchase for Wednesday and Thursday is a necessity and then people MUST please attend in their allocated and purchased time slots. We are recommending that visitors do NOT arrive early to the docks. It’s great that there’s so much interest but we’re asking that everyone please pre-purchases their tickets and only comes at the allocated times on those tickets. There are lots of free activities all around the town, so please come and enjoy the best of Falmouth and admire the ships from all points of the port. Thank you.'

Seals are an iconic sight in Cornwall’s waters and one both visitors and locals love to see. Aspects Holidays began supporting Cornwall Seal Group Research Trust in 2019 and have recently worked with Marine Stories Ranger, Charlie Gill, on how we can all ‘watch seals well’.
