New members in 1st session who are over 8 years will be told which races they are in. There may be some nights that swimmers will not be swimming.
Wear a T-shirt on poolside; bring a drink in a plastic bottles with your name on; NO SWEETS.
Unfortunately, Annette will not be coaching for a few weeks: she has broken her arm AND a vertebra. Best wishes for a speedy recovery from all at Ringwood Seals!
Just a quick note to say that we have pulled out of the galas on the 15th and 22nd September because of the limited time to prepare for them when we return to training. Hope to see you all back at Ringwood on the 11th!
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.
