Tadcaster Swimming Pool needs community support to save it from closure Tadcaster Swimming Pool Trust has been significantly affected

by Covid-19 and the lockdown measures put in place which meant the leisure centre was forced to close As a charitable organisation, Tadcaster Pool relies heavily on customers to keep the doors open.

A #saveleisure campaign was launched on 15th July

by Community Leisure, Get ukactive & The Chartered

Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity with support from The Guardian & The Telegraph to help support the leisure sector.

Mark Tweedie, the chief executive of Community Leisure UK said: “Public leisure centres are at the heart of communities – they are places where communities connect to socialise and have fun.

Page 4

Issue 49 - August/September 2020

“They serve all age ranges and abilities, from parents with babies, through to sports clubs, walking groups and gentle exercise classes for the less fit.”

The Tadcaster Swimming Pool Trust is pleading with the community to help save the centre that has been an asset to Tadcaster and the surrounding areas since 1994.

The group is asking ‘What

does Tadcaster Swimming Pool mean to you?’ and to share your thoughts on social media with the hashtag, #saveleisure.

Like many industries that have suffered due to Covid-19, the future is uncertain, but with your support, the Tadcaster Swimming Pool may be able to thrive again once more.

Please share your thoughts on the importance of leisure centre

and share if you see posts on social media using #saveleisure.

Every bit helps, as due to the pandemic, the trust has had to cancel three major fundraising events.

If you would like to donate to help save the pool, please visit uk.virginmoneygiving. com and type in ‘Tadcaster Swimming Pool Trust COVID 19’.

Daughter shaves head in honour of mum who beat cancer four times Emma Wilson, 50, from Tadcaster, recently braved the shave in honour of her remarkable mum Barbara

Emma is so grateful for the care her mum has received at Leeds Teaching Hospitals and made the brave decision to shave her head to raise funds for hospital charity Leeds Cares.

After months in and out of hospital, Barbara (Babs) was finally able to return home to her family in January. Emma and her siblings have become full-time carers for their mum

who has been classed as high risk during the pandemic.

On the 25th July, Emma braved the shave which saw the whole family getting involved, including Babs. Thanks to her amazing fundraising efforts, Babs has smashed her initial ÂŁ500 target and raised ÂŁ2,060!

Tadcaster Echo chatted to Emma to find out more about what inspired her to shave her head.

Emma said: “I have been thinking of ways to raise money for Leeds Cares for a while and not being the athletic type a marathon was out of the

Issue 49 - August/September 2020

question - I could have done a sponsored walk etc but by March 13 this year, we had gone into lockdown due to the Covid situation and my mum’s health as we did not want to take any risks with her. Suddenly we were cooped up indoors.

“I have always been a hair person from being very young when i used to have it very long, and with everything that Mum has had to give up it just seemed to make sense to give up my hair.

“My mum just amazes me every single day - she has survived cancer four times (cervical in

1982, oral and lung in 2014, and kidney in 2015), and the only one she gets angry about is the lung one and only because she has never smoked. She just faced it all head on and continued to live her life through it all.

Last May she became really ill again and was in and out of St James’s Hospital for a few months before a long stay from mid-October until the end of January this year. After emergency surgery in early November for a perforated bowel, Mum was so ill we really did not think she would make it, but with the fantastic support

of the staff at St Jame’s amd Mum’s determination, just after Christmas she turned a corner and has not looked back since.

“Mum has had to deal with major life changes since the operation that mean things will never be how they used to be and she requires full-time care, but she has not let this hold her back.

“She is my inspiration every single day and I just feel blessed to be able to care for her as she has always done so for the whole family.”

HOROSCOPES August/Sept

Please mention Tadcaster Echo when calling advertisers

Aquarius

(20th Jan-18th Feb) This probably isn’t the moment to quit your day job, especially if you don’t have a stable financial foundations.

Pisces

(19th Feb-20th March) You should know by now that perfection simply does not exist, and that sacrificing your precious free time in pursuit of it is a waste of time.

Aries

Gemini

(21st May-20th June) Make sure that a new adventure you embark on will be something you really enjoy. Your time is precious, so don’t waste it doing something just for the sake of being busy.

Cancer

(21st June- 22nd July) You shouldn’t take anything or anyone too seriously right now.

There is a lot of uncertainty around many things at the moment.

Take one step at a time.

Leo

Libra

(23rd Sept-22nd Oct) Stop cleaning up people’s mess. You have worked as hard as everyone else, so why should they expect you to stay on longer to get the place back into shipshape order?

Scorpio

(23rd Oct-21st Nov) You have the ability to see the bigger picture and to rise above pettiness, so inspire others to do the same by setting all of your personal bias aside.

Sagittarius

(21st March-19th April) Your high-spirited attitude will enable you to challenge someone in a positive way, so don’t be shy about objecting to someone’s silly or illogical statements.

(23rd July-22nd Aug) When you help lift people up, you get a lot more cooperation, and your popularity will stay just as high as it always has been.

(22nd Nov-21st Dec) Turn your attentions toward resolving unfinished business today.

Is there a project you left half-finished?

Is someone waiting to hear from you?

Taurus

Virgo

Capricorn

(20th April-20th May) There is some unfinished business you need to take care of, but you need to figure out what it is.

Don’t leave anything to chance.

Page 22

(23rd Aug-22nd Sept) You need to come out of your shell and make as many calls as it takes to reconnect with the people you need to speak with.

(22nd Dec-19th Jan) Time to think about yourself. Take this month to enjoy yourself and do something you have always wanted to do.

Life is for living.
