ILMINSTER NEWS: Giant water slide planned for Archie Gooch Pavilion family day

ILMINSTER Town FC will be holding a family day next month to celebrate the opening of its new fantastic Archie Gooch Pavilion.

Years of hopes and dreams will come to fruition on Saturday, July 9, 2016, when the club’s new purpose-built headquarters in Britten’s Field – next to the Ilminster Recreation Ground and behind the medical centre in Canal Way – will be thrown open to the public.

There will be an added attraction as well for visitors as the club will have a giant water slide running from the top of Herne Hill, which overlooks the new club facilities, from 11am as well as other inflatables and soft play facilities for all ages.

Bookings are now being taken for the giant water slide – which should prove to be ace fun – by logging onto https://www.dot-the-eye.com/Slide_Payment/ .

It will cost £6 per slide and time slots are available from 11am right through to 7pm on July 9, 2016.

But there are a number of terms and conditions.

One of the main conditions is that only people aged seven and above can have a go on the water slide, while participants must be in good health and not affected by medical problems such as heart, back or neck problems or have had recent operations which might be worsened by the experience.

Expectant mothers are not allowed to go on the slide, while organisers have said that anybody suspected to be under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs will be refused entry.

Other terms and conditions can be found on the website at https://www.dot-the-eye.com/Slide_Payment/ .

Organisers have said that the rules are for the safety and enjoyment of those taking part and to ensure that the water slide does not get damaged.

A club spokesman said it would be a fantastic day for the club and the Ilminster community.
