Sedgemoor District Council announced on Thursday (January 24th) that two of Burnham-On-Sea’s leading sports events held at Burnham Swimming Pool will go ahead as normal during 2008.
The proposed closure of the town’s swimming pool had cast doubt on the future of the Burnham Aquathon on Sunday 13th April, and the Burnham-on-Sea Triathlon, scheduled for Sunday 1st June, as reported by Burnham-On-Sea.com last year.
However, the council announced on Thursday afternoon that both the popular events will take place this year.
Any queries regarding either event should be directed to Rob Semple at Burnham Pool on 01278 785909 and entry forms are available online here.
There is still no news, however, about the future of this year’s Stert Island Swim – which Burnham-On-Sea.com exclusively reported earlier this month is in doubt due to the current round of cash cuts.
