Heat complete the set!

Guildford Heat have secured their second piece of silverware for the 2007/8 season with an emphatic victory against MK Lions 100 - 88. The BBL Play-Off final which was on Sunday at Birmingham's NIA was the fourth domestic trophy for the Heat in the last two seasons, a basketball full-house!

Danny Gilbert won MVP and there were other notable performances from Mike Martin and Tony Dorsey who's final point meant that the Heat are the first team to score 100 points in the Play-Off Final.

Building Works - Pool Closures

Building Works Update - 16th April 2008

Monday 21st April will see the start of PHASE 2 of the Building Remedial Works. Along with the Leisure Pool closure, our Entrance Ramp will also be closed for necessary refurbishment including grit-blasting (over night) and repainting and a total re-tile of its surface. There will be an alternative Entrance/Exit whilst this work is carried out for 4 weeks until Friday 16th May. Please click here for details of our Temporary Main Entrance.

POOL CLOSURES 

This phase has the larger impact on the customer as certain pools will have to be closed for a period of time for the work to be done. We have phased the work to ensure that we have certain pools available for use.

The closures will be as follows:

POOL  CLOSURE DATES  DURATION 
Leisure Pool 21st April - 7th July  12 weeks 
Teaching Pool 21st April - 7th July  12 weeks 
25m Competition Pool 8th July - 6th August  5 weeks 
Diving Pool 29th July - 25th August 4 weeks 

During the closure of the leisure pool (21st April for 4 weeks) we will be treating the rusting on all of the steelwork including the removal of the existing flume staircase which will be treated off-site and returned with a fresh coat of paint. We will also be re-tiling the bottom of the leisure pool and replacing some of the glazing panels over the pool.

Work has now been completed on the roof to replace the glazing panels over the teaching pool and also the installation of a Safe Access System to the roof. The rest of the scaffold surrounding the building has now been struck leaving intermittent scaffold towers.

These dates were correct at the time of publication however Spectrum retains the right to amend at any time. For further information on any of the pending works and closures, please contact us by calling (01483) 443322 or email us This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it

Head of Spectrum Leisure Services Claire Davenport, says "This essential maintenance is taking place to ensure the facilities can be available for our customers for years to come. We hope to complete the work in the shortest possible time period so that there is minimum disruption to all customers."
