Desk and Presentation evening help

The ladies on the desk have asked if there is anyone willing to help them over the next month or two especially on Saturday and Sunday evenings. If you are willing to help please let them know.


We are also seeking some people to make props for our next presentation evening.  Wendy and Sharon have 'retired' from this role and we are sure you must agree that they have done a fantastic job these last few years. We do have storage space for any props that are made. If you can help, then let us know.

My Medals Case

Recieved via e-mail.  May be of interest to some people:



Dear Sir/Madam,
As a parent of a regional club swimmer and speed lifesaving club member I have developed a product for displaying, storing and logging medals. As we are all aware the medals can soon mount up and in my daughters case they were piled into a shoe box!
With the ‘My Medals Case’ presentation folder competitors can proudly display up to 36 medals and their ribbons as well as log the details as a reminder of the date, venue and competition where the awards were earned.
I am hoping you would be able to assist us by networking this product to your club members in some way, either via your website, noticeboard (see flyer attached) or by simple ‘word of mouth’. Please also pass on that we have a website www.mymedalscase.co.uk and Facebook page (FB search: My Medals Case Ltd).
Anyone joining our Facebook page and clicking ‘like’ will be automatically entered into a prize draw on the 1st of December to receive one of two free My Medals Case display folders. (Normal RRP £18.99).
This is a very small venture and any help at club level would be greatly appreciated.
Good luck to you and your club and we wish you every success in future galas & competitions!!

Kind Regards,
My Medals Case Ltd
