## Resource

I am joined by first-time guests - and HUST board members - Ed Parkinson and Martin Corner for a fresh perspective on the takeover at Pools. We talk Raj Singh, Landon Smith, and the promise shown by the open letter the new owner penned this week regarding his intentions. There's also room for some nostalgia about days gone by, and the hope that Pools can return to better times in the future! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
