Dear Editor
Re Kings Meadow Baths.  We had a good productive weekend over the CAMRA weekend.
We are at the stage when more prolific interaction is required between campaigners and RBC
We've been working hard to stop these baths from being bulldozed and obtained English Heritage Listing in 2004.  The baths belong to RBC and as such has the responsibility to keep it in a restorative condition and not allowing deterioration. We are liaising with the council at this stage emphasising this fact.  We are having regular meetings.
We need the public to support us and to HAVE VISION.  The pool was allowed to fester and suffered abuse for 35 years and we don't need feckless comments  on  forums that "It's an eyesore - knock it down"  Ask yourselves WHY its an eyesore.? Just have the time to go down and look inside and you'll note under all the neglect, beauty beyond all reason - Also such comments  as "Horrible memories of it being so so cold"   Have vision before such comments are made - it would be highly unlikely to exacerbate  these memories in the present day.
One such person came marching into the pool to find out what all the fuss was about to save the pool - obviously averse to the idea.  She pushed by, stood,  looked around wide eyed and couldn't find words, eventually muttering "Now I know what all the fuss is about - this pool HAS to be saved."
The campaign are eager for the public to sit up, SOME arise from their armchairs alongside their deriding remarks and try a little positiveness and help us keep this last bit of Heritage we have in the town,  and one that would become of community benefit and enjoyment.  
Visit our open days,  put something in the pot,  sign our visitors book,  be active  and acknowledge that we're trying to do something for YOU. We've endured many obstacles over the last few years but bravely we've fought on. Be part of it,  and be proud of the fact that you were part of a campaign to save heritage.  Enough of the narrow minded comments on forums.  I'm looking forward to reading published letters promised by our visitors.
