WHILE in the Poole Dolphin Centre today (still the Arndale to us oldies), I started thinking about the wonderful yet now unused Sports Centre there I wonder whether it will ever again hear the excited sounds of active people enjoying its excellent facilities.
Surely at a time when we’re becoming increasingly concerned about such issues as childhood obesity and healthcare being more “proactive” than “reactive”, to allow such a facility to simply waste away is nothing less than obscene?
When I think back to the many happy hours I spent in there as a youngster, proudly representing my school in various tournaments, it seems so sad that present generations are being denied this opportunity.
