Annual Club Closure
It’s time for our annual Club Shutdown for maintenance. The whole club will be closed from August 23rd-25th. Be sure to mark that on your calendar. Swimmers beware! The pool will be closed for an extended period of time so we can resurface the pool, then allow the surface to cure. We did not shut the pool down for resurfacing last year, so we need to be sure to get the process done properly. So, the pool will be closed from August 21st through September 1st. Thanks everyone for your patience as we do a ton of work in a very short time span. We’ll be painting, carpet cleaning, and redoing upholstery. Additionally exterior painting and ceiling repair, wall and cove base repair, parking lot repair and striping, and in general, a reorganization of the Bellingham Athletic Club space. We hate interrupting your well-established routine, but much needs to be done that cannot be accomplished while members are present.
