COVID-19 (Coronovirus)
Following advice from several sources it is considered safe to use public pools. However, it is very important to follow the guidelines regarding social contact and contact with surfaces. This is particularly relevant for those who do not go in the water. It is advisable to use a gel after passing through changing rooms and after leaving the building.
Unless there is a further update there will be a session on Friday 20th as usual.

The Rotary Games at Rugby take place on 3rd May.Entry forms should appear on Rugby Sports Association for the Disabled website in due course.  Note that May Day is on Friday 8th this year. The gala is normally in the afternoon.

 

Reading the attached newspaper cutting, our club was definitely running in 1976. Alan Hall took over from Dr Singh and so its beginning was earlier. I have searched for information on this previously but can’t find anything more. I think we should plan for a 50th anniverary in 2025 if nothing else comes to light.
