Congratulations to Paul Bates, who last night became the 2015 winner of the CSPAN Veteran Sports Personality of the Year. Paul was recognised for all of his sporting successes over the last 12 months – what will they think once he has swum the channel again!!!!
As February fast approaches, please can you make sure you have paid for the club and ASA membership for 2016 (£33 for category one, and £60 for category two).
We are currently reviewing membership payments received to date, and will start sending out reminders shortly.
Remember it is this payment that gives the swimmers insurance to swim in the water – please help the club by paying as promptly as you can. If paying online, please drop us an email to let us know this has been done.
Closing date to get your entries submitted (not club entry) to the Staffs Masters is the 1st March, so please make sure you have your entries in before then – for details of how to enter please see the link below.
Now we have finished entering the Warwickshire County Entries…….time to move onto the City of Birmingham Easter Open Meet for 2016.
Easter is early this year – so the dates are 25th, 26th, 27th and 28th March 2016.
Take a peek at the schedule, and see which races you would like to enter (also check the qualifying times to see if you can enter the races – if in doubt speak to your coach!). Entries to be given / emailed to Helen by Wednesday 10/02/16.
Please make sure you have paid for your 2016 membership (£33 category one / £60 category two), and returned the Membership and Medical forms, to make sure we have the most up to date information on all swimmers. Extra forms can be accessed here, or ask at the sweetie desk at Beeches for a paper copy.
This needs to be done as soon as possible, to enable the club to pay the fees to the ASA (Amateur Swimming Association) as their membership year runs from January through to December each year. Many thanks for your help with this.
You will all have recently received an email, from Swim Club Manager, our online club database. This is your parents logon, where you can see the information held on your child(ren). If you have any queries regarding this please let us know.
