Due to the closure of the Grenfell Swimming Pool for this season, Weddin Shire Council has organised free bus travel for Grenfell residents to use the Quandialla pool.
Whilst the bus is free entry fees to Quandialla pool are still applicable.
The service will begin on Saturday, January 21 and continue on Saturday’s for three weeks.
There will also be a bus run on Australia Day, Thursday January 26, 2017.
Two sessions will be serviced, a 10am to 1pm service and 1pm to 4pm service.
The service, using a 24 seat mini coach, will include a bus leaving at 9.30am from Main Street outside the HUB/VIC building.
This bus will arrive for the 10am opening at Quandialla Pool.
Another collection will occur outside the HUB/Visitor Information Centre/Library Building at 12.30pm for arrival at 1pm at Quandialla.
This will allow those who attended the morning session to return to Grenfell by 1.30pm.
A final bus will collect users from the Quandialla Pool at 4pm.
Council hopes this service will be patronised and will benefit the community.
All buses will leave and return to the Library Building in Main Street.
Anyone under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult if they wish to use the service.
There is no eating or drinking on the bus (apart from water).
