Membership Renewal 2015
You should all now have received your membership renewals for 2015 through your letter boxes (if you haven’t please email secretary@perrybeechesswimming.co.uk).
Please can you return them to Beeches before the end of February 2015. The desk is generally available on Sunday afternoons and Wednesday evenings.
Please make sure you either bring the cash or cheque with the paperwork (either category 1 £20.50 or category 2 £47.50) or transfer the money into the PBSSS account – and email finance@perrybeechesswimming.co.uk to let them know you have done this. This money goes to the ASA (Amateur Swimming Association), and pays for your insurance in the water.
Many thanks for your help with this.
Did you know we also swim in Erdington?

We are at Erdington pool every Friday evening – with four width classes, a Beginners Lengths class, and both a Junior and Senior classes – there are sessions to suit most swimmers.
Why not try a second session over in Erdington – parking is free in the Coop car park after 6pm – and see if you enjoy the sessions over there 🙂

Sutton Schools Gala – Help Needed
Please read the email below from Shirley Wigley (email Shirley Wigley), who needs some able bodies to assist with the running of the Sutton Schools gala on Saturday 31st January.
Hello Everybody, I hope that everyone is well and that you all have a happy, healthy and prosperous new year.
I am putting out a request for help with this year’s Sutton Schools Swimming Gala at Stechford Pool on Saturday 31st January. An even larger number of schools have said that they would like to take part this year, which has to be good for swimming, but has made extra demands on the organisation of the event. Many of our younger club members will be taking part.
As a result, there will be a Large Schools Gala at 2:30 in the afternoon and a Small School Gala at 6:00 in the evening. Help will be needed with officiating and the marshalling of swimmers. Whilst it is useful to have a number of qualified officials at this event, helpers do not need to be qualified. Please ask your older children if they would like to help. They make extremely good timekeepers! Also, mention the galas to the parents of children that you know will be swimming at the galas, because many of them would rather work on poolside than sit in the balcony! ( An additional bonus is that helpers get in without buying a ticket.)
 If you are able to work at both galas, Jane Sixsmith has kindly offered to lay on tea and sandwiches etc in the bar during the break.
Please could I ask that you respond to this email as soon as possible because I need to put together two teams of officials.
I will give more details a little closer to the date.
