"We are incredibly pleased to offer these free entry days and pool activities to the Uralla community," Council's acting general manager David Aber said. "This is a great initiative, and I extend a huge thanks to the staff who worked so hard to make this possible."
Free entry to the pool and all activities during the week are made possible by a $10,000 Drought Stimulus - Regional School Holiday Activities grant from the NSW Government.

On Thursday, council will provide a free sausage sizzle for all pool visitors. Council will also provide free transportation from Bundarra to Uralla on this day. The bus will leave the Bundarra General Store at 11am, and return from Uralla at 4pm.
Activities and games during the week include Family Water Safety Storytime for young children, their parents and guardians; and non-water based games such as the favourite "Giant Jenga", darts, snakes and ladders, and dominoes.
"We hope the Uralla Shire community will take advantage of this opportunity and visit the Uralla Pool," Mr Aber said. "If you haven't already, this is a great chance to see the new upgrades to the pool completed under the Stronger Country Communities Fund last November."
A complete schedule of the activities and programs offered is available on Council's website at www.uralla.nsw.gov.au.
Grant funds also ensure additional staff are on hand to keep visitors safe. Council will survey youths to plan events and Youth Week activities.
