Jesmond Swimming Project
Jesmond Swimming Project is a company formed in 1991 to lease the building from the Council and operate it as a public swimming and leisure facility.
We are a company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales with the registered no. 2645699, and a registered charity no. 1010563. Further information about us is registered on the Companies House and Charity Commission websites.
The Company is managed by its Board, comprising the Trustees of the Charity, who normally meet monthly, on the second Sunday of the month, either at the pool or at the house of one of the Trustees. Meetings are open to the public – if you wish to attend please check the date, time and location at pool reception. The 2009 Annual Meeting was held at the pool on Sunday 5 July
For 2009/10 the Chair of the Board is Mike Miller, Finance Director Jane Gibbon and Company Secretary Chris Clarke. The Board carries out much of its business through sub-groups comprising a mixture of trustees, members and staff.
At present the Chair of the Finance and Fundraising Sub-Group is Phil Moxon, Personnel Joanne Kingsland, Communications Jane Lowdon, Building Development Mike Miller and Looking Ahead Les Hodgson.
Other Trustees are Dave Rushworth, Liz McAlpine, Paul Rea, Richard Taylor, Russell Deane and Barrie Thompson.
During 2009 an illustrated history of the pool has been published, entitled "Making a Splash - How Jesmond Pool made History." The book includes a fascinating account of the establishment of the social enterprise and its subsequent development. Copies are available from the pool, price Ł7 (including Ł1 postage and packing)
