Happy New Year to all who of our members.

We have just been informed that there is a swim session on Friday 3rd January at 7pm. We were previously told in error, that the pool would be closed. So, if you want to go for a swim tomorrow, the club will be open. Apologies for the confusion!

News for 20th December

We hope you all enjoyed the party and presentation. Photographs have been uploaded to the club website (good thing Pete has a computer that works!).  Go to the web page and look at “Photos”  then “Albums”.  This is a members only area so if you don’t have access you need to contact Marie Clarke.

Congratulations to the trophy winners for 2024

Junior Trophy    Amos McGrattan

Senior Trophy    Beth Evans

Gala Trophy       Lacey Conlon

Certificates were awarded to the swimmers and teachers for their work in 2024. Anyone unable to join the party can collect theirs on poolside.

The hamper raffle prizes were won by

1st   Gurvinder Garcha

2nd  Lucas Brookes

3rd  Marie Clarke

Many thanks to Barbara for making them look attractive, along with the gift wrapping.

The pool have now said that they will be CLOSED on the next two Fridays so the next club session will be on Friday 10th January 2025.

A Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone.

Congratulations to Ralphie Palmer who completed his National Plan Stage 2.

Don’t forget the party next week after swimming. Sam can’t be at the party but left chocolates to share next week and wishes everyone a Happy Christmas.

The trophies won’t be engraved for 2024 as the trophy shop are on their usual ski holiday until 6th January. They will be presented but will need to be returned for engraving when we know if there will be a NASCH gala.
