Latest News

Robert Burr was awarded a “Good Work” certificate on 29th August.

Gurvinder Garcha has taken Thomas’s place in NASCH Finals gala as Thomas is too old for the junior races this year.

The entry form has been submitted with Gurvinder swimming 1 length (submitted time 39.78), Daniel Hodge 2 lengths (1.43.37) and Peter Markham 4 lengths (2.25.00). If times improve they can be resubmitted before the gala on 1st November. Aaron Peters is the named reserve. The gala will be held at Newbold Comyn Leisure Centre in Leamington. As last year, we have informed the organisers that we are willing to fill any vacant places for our region in girls, mens or ladies events.

The Kay Clarke Memorial Gala has been postponed due to lack of entries. It appears that it was too soon after the summer break for some clubs to organise their teams. It will be rearranged after consulting with the clubs affected. As we are unlikely to be oversubscribed, it should be possible to include a width race for swimmers who are unable to complete a length. It will still have to be held on a Saturday – probably starting at 4.30pm so that it does not depend on a party booking the first hour. This is the only hire time available at Bedworth other than 8.00pm on Sundays. More info asap.   Our club members can have an immediate refund of their entry fee if they would like this or wait for the rearranged date to see if the entry is to stand. I have your money (Sheila).

 

NASCH National Gala 2014

Our Junior Boys have been selected to represent the region in the NASCH National Gala on Saturday, 1st November.

Thomas Slater and Peter Markham have been invited to defend their titles. Daniel Hodge has been invited to complete the team.

Well done!

Volunteers needed for our gala on 20th September 2014

We are looking for volunteers to help us out at our gala on 20th September, at Bedworth Leisure Centre, 5pm-8pm. Nuneaton have a gala at the Pingles and cannot help us with officiating. Any husbands / wives / schoolfriends / workmates will be guaranteed a job! (Expenses paid). Finding a starter is a particular priority at the moment. If you can help us out, we would really appreciate your help. Please speak to Sheila or a member of the committee.
