Perry Beeches SSS Swimming Club want to offer our huge congratulations to Mandy Blizard on attaining a second placed ‘Silver Award’ in the National ‘Volunteer of the Year’ category from the ASA (Amateur Swimming Association) at the ASA Aquatics Awards. Mandy had already won the West Midlands Regional ASA title in September this year, and at a ceremony last Saturday was awarded the National Silver trophy for all her amazing volunteer work for the Swimming Club. We could hardly survive without Mandy and other volunteers who give of their time and talents so freely. There are many tasks that Mandy willingly applies her skills, from Swimming Coach to Secretary of the Club Committee, including numerous voluntary hours which include all Communications both with the local press and our social media outlets as well as looking after the website management.

I know that many swimmers, parents and committee volunteers would want to join me in expressing not only congratulations but our love and sincere thanks.

Melvin Hart

Chairman, Perry Beeches SSS Swimming Club
