The company that handles your direct debit payments, London & Zurich (through Love Admin), has a major IT issue and has been unable to handle any transactions since 8th November (and perhaps earlier). The problem will also affect anyone trying to set up, cancel or amend direct debit payments. Hopefully the problem will be sorted out in a few days but it may take L&Z a while to get back to normal service. Your payments may be taken later than normal and it may be necessary for us to reissue requests for your November subs.

Help Needed (Ringside View!)
We need 5 timekeepers for each session so 10 each night. If you can push a button you can do this – the stop watches start automatically, you just have to stop them. Times go to computer automatically.
All swimmers to attend. It is good for everyone to have a go at all strokes but if there is obviously someone who does it really badly they may be disqualified. The youngest swimmers only swim 25m (1 length) of the 4 main strokes.
Trophies
Would all trophy holders please return them clean and shiny bright.
DO NOT USE ANYTHING ABRASIVE TO CLEAN THEM. DUST OUT THE INSIDES.
If you have a number of trophies please wrap them up loosely as Anne has to remove any packaging. Remove the label with your name on it please BUT do not remove the number on the inside or back of the trophy.
Free Trial Sessions
Would you like to join Ringwood Seals Swimming Club? Are you interested in competitive swimming and at stage 4 in your swimming classes (or can swim the length of the pool confidently)? We are offering up to 6 free training sessions through October and November.
Our focus is on fitness, technique and working towards competing in galas. If you are interested, please email Anne to book your trial sessions.
Seals: do you know someone that might be interested in joining the Club? Please let them know about this offer!
Spring Sprints Results
The full results from the Spring Sprints are now available on the Members Only page.
Seals Summer Sprints
We are holding the Sprints on Tuesday 6th June and Friday 9th June. These races are 50m for all 4 strokes – not 200m and I.M. Please make sure that you bring your swimmer to these as we need upto date times. The swimmers who are 7 yrs and under will do 25m of all the strokes (Final decision on who will swim fly and breast with Carole).
