Nominations should be proposed and seconded on the nomination form ( these can be found at the club desk) and the person nominated should be willing to undertake the responsibilities of the post for which they are being proposed. Only members over the age of 16 are eligible to vote but it is an “open” meeting and therefore parents of junior members are welcome to join in the discussions. Nomination forms must be lodged with me by Monday 28th November 2011. When all nominations have been received a list of candidates will be compiled and put on the notice board. A ballot will be held at the AGM to determine who will form the committee and elected officers for 2012. Subsequently any new committee members will be expected to pay a membership fee if applicable.

Greg Brown for a cqt in 50m Back , to Nathan and Jack for swimming in a 15yr old individual race and to Ryan, Greg, Adam, Jack, Mollie, Josie,Elise, Lauren, Emma and Sam for swimming up in the relays.

Thank-you

Just a quick note to say thank-you for the card and the gift that was given to me on the presentation night. It is nice to be appreciated though I don't do what I do for personal rewards, and I can't do what I do without a fantastic team of 'staff' at the club.
I get my reward from seeing the swimmers ... from small pool, all the way up to the oldies in Lane 5 squad, enjoying what they do and having fun in their chosen sport.

Once again,

Thanks.
