Dear all members & parents,

As well as by email I will also be posting these days on our facebook group and website.  

As in previous years....to all those members going to Eindhoven and sorting out the team order, practice and training the coaches (Jake, Hayley & Jamie) have provisionally set up the following additional pool sessions. 

Please put the following dates in your diary and I will confirm them for definite once Jake has completed the booking with SIV.  There's no additional charge.  The club will subsidise the booking and payment of these slots.

For Incident Training at Heeley Baths on Sundays from 19h30 to 20h30 (meet at 19h15)

• Sunday 13/12
• Sunday 10/1/16
• Sunday 17/1/16

For Speed Event Training at Ponds Forge on Wednesday's to continue on from our club night from 21h00 to 22h00

• 6/1
• 13/1
• 20/1

The coaches (and don't forget Jake, Hayley , Tamsin & Holly are competing too!!) would like to hope that ALL members wanting to go to Eindhoven will be able to make these sessions.  So can you please check your diaries.  It's a key opportunity to practice lifesaving, rescue, speed and to sort out the team running orders (especially for the speed events). 

Please speak with Hayley, Jamie & Jake on Wednesday night (9th) if you're NOT able to make these slots. 

Thanks and regards,
Chris.

ps. I have also attached the Dutch invitation and programme which they kindly translate for our club !!  You can get a feel for the two days.  Enjoy !!

Dutch video of the competition. 

The swimming times have been adjusted a little to cater for our finalised booking at Graves Leisure Centre on 18/1.  START 13:30

Can anybody help to fill the "4th man" spot in the JUNIORS team please to support their training? 

@Hayley & @Tamsin : can you please rally the troops tomorrow to see if anybody can help Alice, Sarah and Georgia on 18/1?  

Thx, C. 

Just a big thank you to all the teams that took part in this year's competition.  We hope you enjoyed it.  

This year we welcomed a great number of teams taking part along with their team leaders/coaches and family supporters.  An excellent turnout.    

Also a big thank you to the parents and volunteers.  It made it possible to run this year's competition.  It's simply no helpers = no competition.  

All the results, summary and programme can be found on this website. 

Here's the LINK. 

Thanks,
Chris.

SLSC Competition - October 19th 11:30 @ Eckington Pool
Followed by prize giving and Evening disco/buffet at the Civic Centre

• The teams are being chosen by the Jamie, Jake and Anabel.
  
• This is the clubs flagship annual event so we know everybody understands we expect the vast majority of our members to take part. 
  
• It not only promotes the values and endeavours of the club - both inside the club and outside to other clubs - it also enables the members to have a very enjoyable day (& evening !!) out.  
  
• We are currently assuming the club will be excellently represented and we're looking to make up 3 teams of 4 members. 
  
• As ever we are asking for as many parent/member volunteers as possible on the day to help with the stewarding, timekeeping,  competition incident on the day.    
  
• Please email me ASAP to let me know if you can help before and/or on the day, 
  --OR--  
  Please email me ASAP if you're not able to take part. 

SLSC Competition - Donation of Raffle Prizes

• To help with our club fund raising endeavours; on competition day we run a raffle and draw out the winners during the prize giving in the evening.
  
• We'd like to ask all members/parents if they'd be kind enough and are able to donate a prize (eg. Wine, Choc's, Biscuits etc) towards the raffle. 
  
• Please leave them with me on a club night. 

SLSC Polo Shirts for the competition

• If you don't already have a polo-shirt then we always stress to our members that they are ambassadors for the club on competition day in their tops. 
  
• I have a supply of Medium and Large (and I think a few Small) and will bring them to the club next week. 
  
• They are priced at £5

We're back after the summer recess !!!

The members doing their Bronze syllabus are going through its finalisation now so please try to not miss any weeks as it may delay your accreditation submission.

And the teams for OUR competition on Oct-19th are being determined. 

As ever we cannot emphasise enough the need for an excellent turnout by our members at our competition.

Thanks,
Chris.
