We have received the sad news that Marie’s Dad and Kay’s husband, Walter, passed away on 12th July 2011. Kay and the family decided on family flowers only, with donations if desired to go to the swimming club, as Walter has been a huge supporter of the club for many years. If anyone would like to make a donation, they can do so C/O D B Devall and Son Ltd, 2 Wembrook House, The Green, Attleborough, Nuneaton, Warwickshire, CV11 4JF.  The donations are for Walter Ernest Clarke and cheques should be made payable to Bedworth Disabled Swimming Club.

Thank You.

Huge thanks to everyone who helped out on the stall, donated prizes, or came along and supported us at the Nuneaton Carnival on 12th June 2011. It was the wettest Carnival for 30 years but we still managed to raise just under £75.00, which considering the weather was fantastic.  Photographs and information about the day can be found at http://www.NuneatonCarnival.org. A blog post about our stall can be found at http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/blog/section/our-good-causes/our-amazing-causes/

Many thanks again for your support, it is very much appreciated!

The team finished 2nd overall, behind Cheslyn Hay Otters, beating the other 7 very strong clubs.

Special thanks to Simon Godfrey for all his help.

Well done to everyone!

Well done to Martelle Swinton who swam 25 metres for her badge and certificate on 20th May 2011.
