News for 25th April 2025

Congratulations to Adela Witman who was presented with her club t-shirt for regular attendance.

Rugby Games next week

Competitors who are taking part in sports events please check the time table for your start time. Competitors who are only swimming need to report be 12.00noon at the latest. There are lots of Have-A-Go events if you want to arrive a bit earlier.

The team entry fees have been paid, so anyone who has not paid owes me (Sheila), not the event organisers.

Please find the attached programmes for our Sports Day on 4th May. 

Please remember to inform us at our reception desk of all your vehicle registration numbers (unless of course you would prefer to pay the £60 fine if you stop too long).

Also be aware that the leisure centre is cashless (apart from the £1 pieces for the swimming lockers), but our Tombola is just the opposite! It is cash only, so bring some along if you want to join in the fun.

Could those of you that have not yet paid your entry fees please pay on the day.

I look forward to seeing you all, 

Bernard Purdy
