WISHING POOL
Bristol Water and Cheddar Vale Lions empty the 'Wishing Pool' annually. Our Wishing Pool is not a conventional well but a gridded area alongside the weir where money can be deposited. As you can imagine the coins emerge covered in weed and dirt, as well as being wet, so it takes several Lions quite some time to get it all clean, dry and bagged up ready for the Bank. The pool was emptied in April 2023 and yielded our biggest haul of coins to date.
We are extremely grateful to everyone that throws their loose change into our 'Pool'. The money goes towards our community projects and events within the Cheddar Valley. Half is donated to Bristol Water's Charity - Water Aid - as they assist with the care and emptying of the Pool.
THANK YOU The water was pumped out and the Wishing Well emptied in April 2023
