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.

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.

Recent Gala News
Sorry for not having updated this recently, so here goes!!
On the 1st October we travelled to Bramcote for the first round of the autumn J.C Dobb league.
We came third on this occasion just 3 points behind the winners Portland despite have 30 points deducted for going too fast in six events
Special mentions go to Eve McGrenaghan on her first gala and to Gemma Calder on a CQT in 50m Fly. Also to Charly, Elise, Ryan and Matthew who were a Derby all day for an Open,
Aiden, Callum and Holly who were at Clay Cross all day for an Open and to Denise who was in Northumberland this morning!
Thank you to Emma,Evie and Sue for helping.
On the 8th October we went to Sutton, this time for the first round of the Notts and District.
We won the gala by two points
Kimberley 242
Leander 240
Sutton 220
Portland 166
Southwell 134
Falcon 103
Well done to all.
Special mentions to Jade Calder on her first County Qualifying Time, to Nathan, Ryan, Jack and Adam for swimming up in the relays and some individuals, to Ben for 50m Back :-) and to Shiona on her first gala, to Robyn on achieving a CQT and apologies for leaving her behind at Kimberley!! Thanks to Niki Clements for coming to the rescue, and to Natalie for travelling all the way from Birmingham to compete.
Thanks to Sue, Wendy, Malcolm, Denise and Sharon for officiating/team managing and to Russ Pigott for standing in at the last moment as chief timekeeper. Also to Emma, Neil and Lisa for recording and announcing.
Unfortunately our win was marred by the fact one of our swimmers had his mobile phone and wallet stolen from his bag whilst it was on poolside. Other swimmers have had their bags searched, and a swimmer from Falcon has had their phone stolen. I don't know if any other club has suffered.
We, as a club were placed on poolside near to the showers at Lamass which you will probably know is away from poolside, so this theft could have been done by an outsider. The police and the leisure centre have been informed. I have made Notts a.s.a aware of this when booking Lamass and the fact that some club are placed away from poolside whilst there.
If anyone else has anything missing from their bag please let me know a.s.a.p or if any swimmer saw someone hanging around then let us know.
Also, unfortunately, we need to inform the parents to remind the swimmers that whilst at a gala they are representing the club and should be well behaved We had swimmers messing around in the showers and throwing water at each other. We shouldn't be telling them NOT to do this, they should know.
Two Minor Gala galas have taken place recently , Round One at Water Meadows and Round Two at Arnold.
At Water Meadows we came 4th
Special mentions go to Greg Brown - on achieving a first county qualifying time , Charly Neilson - 100m I/M cqt and Ryan Pigott - 2p.bs - also cqt's.
Also, the first places, Matthew Shipley 50m Back and the two nine year old Medley relay teams and Katie Walker and Thomas Bowhay on their first gala.
At Arnold We came 5th on the night.
Special mentions to Jade Calder on a new CQT - 100m I/M, Elise Yorston a new CQT - 100m Free, To Shaun Manchester and Callum Williamson for standing in at late notice, to Ryan(2), Morgan, Aiden, Nathan, Charly, Jade C, Elise and Greg for their p.bs.
Thanks to Scott, Sue and Shirley and to the relay split timekeeper Gemma Calder.
