save 200k ?

Mr Gorland is on record, as of last nights meeting, saying that the quoted numbers of 6 Springs kids on the swim team and using our pool, is erroneous. He reports that at times in the past the number was in single digits, but is NOT currently. He says the number of Springs swimmers vacillates between 30% and 50% of the swim team, but couldnt, or wouldnt, give an accurate current number. Gym said tonight that if the swim team leaves to another pool we will get to host NO more meets. That is hard to understand and believe, as this past weekends meet was hosted by a team from Goulds, via a contract with Doral swim team. We can rent our facilities out to anyone who wants them. No problem. While it may be true that, if we close the pool down from Sept-May, we will not be able to rent it for any meets, we arent realizing any revenue from having these meets anyway, so its not a big loss. What revenue did we make from this past weekends meet? The GMAC two weeks before that? We need to at least break even. If we cant do that we should shut it down and save 200k per year. As soon as Mr Gorland provides accurate numbers and the supporting data it will be duly noted here. There was NO reply to a request to produce a contract for anything at the pool.
