Models volunteer for pool publicity

An overwhelming response has resulted from a request for models for a day to publicise the Peninsula Leisure Centre, according to marketing consultant Ms Fran Hannan.

Over 150 volunteers of all ages, shapes, sizes and races gave up their day to be models and photographed for the centre's promotional and marketing material.

Aquatics coordinator Mr Simon Clarke said: "It was a pleasure to see the overwhelming and strong support of our residents for the Peninsula Leisure Centre.

"Members of the community were not only wanting to be part of our promotion of the centre, but are very enthusiastic and excited about the impending opening day on October 1.

"We look forward to sharing this with the community by throwing our doors open with a community open day which will feature all-day entertainment, special guests and celebrities with a fireworks bonanza and entertainment in the evening," Mr Clarke said.
