Dear All,

We are about to embark on a very exciting and ambitious project at Brockwell Lido, and we need your help!

We want to explore why we all love Brockwell Lido so much. We think it goes back further than the lido itself, back to our strongest memories of water. And through these memories we want to show the roots of people’s feelings about water, swimming and the lido, and to tell all our different stories. We also want to make a beautiful artwork that shows the lido as a place that has been transformed by the people who love it.

For this, we want YOUR memories of water. They can be anything: the bright-orange waterwings that held you up as you learned to swim, the time your mother washed your hair in the kitchen sink, the waves you jumped at the seaside, the holiday pool full of light and laughter, the paddling-pool, the rainstorm, the bath... We don't need poems or essays, a few words is fine, though if you want to say more please do - what's important is that it's YOUR feelings and memories.

PLEASE EMAIL YOUR MEMORIES OF WATER TO:   gethan.dick@fusion-lifestyle.com

Oh, and we need them by MARCH 21st. But the sooner the better!

Thank you so much,

Gethan

Heritage Education Coordinator

Brockwell Lido

PS We want as many memories as possible - PLEASE forward this to friends, family and all the lido-lovers you know.
