150th Anniversary of Arlington Baths

That the Parliament congratulates the Arlington Baths Club and its members on their 150th anniversary, which comes at a very difficult time as sports and health facilities remain closed; understands that the baths were founded on 11 July 1870 and are now considered one of Glasgow’s great institutions; believes the Arlington Baths is the oldest surviving club of its type, not only in Glasgow, but in the world; understands that the opening of the club was an inspiration for the creation of other public baths; notes that the club has been owned and run by members on a not-for-profit basis over its 150 years; recognises that the complex is a grade A listed Victorian building, which has served generations of Glaswegians, and encourages people to go along for a free guided tour from knowledgeable volunteers once social distancing measures are removed.
