London Fields Lido – Wednesday 16th January
A group of 8 people joined our visit to London Fields Lido:
Despite a late start & a slow journey owing to a cancelled train, cold showers at the pool and heavy rain later we all enjoyed the day – the pool was warm, steamy, & uncrowded.
Following our swim we enjoyed a late lunch together at the excellent El Ganso Tapas bar in Broadway Market then walked to Liverpool Street Station for the train back to Cambridge.
We are thinking of making these trips a monthly out of season event.
Are there any views on where we should visit next?
Please leave a message in the comments.

Richard and Francis attended the ‘Better Club Games’ on 10th October,
held at the Q.E. Olympic Park in London.
They joined 3 other members of the Cambridge swim team at the Olympic
pool ‘competing’ against Better teams (all over 60s are eligible) from
London and the Southeast.
Other Cambridge members competed in events in the Copper Box – events
such as Table Tennis, Badminton, Cycling and Dominoes.
A great day out with a coach (and T-Shirts) being provided by Better.
Perhaps next year more Friends of Jesus Green Lido will be able to join us?
