SIGNING OF NEW POOL SHELLS Two pieces of our new swimming pool’s steel shells were brought into The Club in October for Members to sign and leave their marks in The Club’s history. The shells, full of signatures, have been assembled on site and tiled over. Although Members won’t be able to see their names on the pool, they can swim in it knowing that their names are part of the foundation!
