To run the Home Championships, twelve volunteers per session are needed to help with timekeeping and other duties. No previous experience is required and full training is provided. If every parent available can volunteer for just one session when their child is swimming, we will easily have enough helpers. Participating is always more fun than just watching. The sign-up sheet is on the Seals noticeboard just down the corridor from the changing village. Thanks!

Many thanks to all those who attended the Summer barbeque recently. The sun shone all day.The kids had a great time making dens, climbing trees, playing football and doing what kids should be doing. Everyone was chilled and having a great time and bought some tasty looking picnics. Jamie ate lots of burgers and hot dogs (he’s lucky he can get away with the extra calories)! Thanks to Anne who bought her Olympic torch along for some photo opportunities!!!

Special thanks to Tim and Amanda Jarvis (top chef), Trevor and Letitia Cox (help with organizing and running around looking for extra burgers/sausages), Annie Collins (putting together a mean hot dog) and hubby Paul for assisting me and keeping me sane! Also to Kerin (collecting money) and anyone else I hounded up to the main event.

I hope the event can be repeated next year, although I can’t guarantee the weather!

Enjoy the rest of your holiday.
