Sydenham Town Forum

Gaz, Thanks - agree the swimming pool would help, but then again it would be a shame to lose the old location. I guess there are pros and cons, but great for the area that it looks like the funds are available for a pool. I've written to Nero about plans for expansion (someone on the forum did ...

All, Had a look in Tesco last night. It was very busy at the time, and I am impressed with the variety of their goods.
