Hope you all have a Happy Easter.
Get your Stourbridge B grade entries back in ASAP please!
Are you aged between 9 and 14 on May 26th? Then why not have a go at the Stourbridge B grade. (Please get your entry forms back to Helen Pordage by March 28th).
This meet is designed to give an introduction for less experienced swimmers to the world of open meets. There are no lower cut off times and the upper times are designed to stop A grade swimmers entering to give the average club swimmer a chance of coming away with a trophy or medal.
The trophies or medals are for the top eight in each event and the top four in each age group in IM events and the winners of each event get a coveted Cut Glass Crystal Goblet. They are accepting on a first come basis so clubs and swimmers who get their entries in early will have no rejections. The only proviso is that they prefer all entries to have times if possible for ease of administration. Entries with no times will only be accepted if the meet is not full. Please note if the event is full and the number of swimmers exceeds the safe limit of the pool swimmers who have only entered one or possibly two events may have to be refused.
Entry forms available from the Stourbridge website:
