Hi to all members.
It’s getting very close to Christmas so I hope you are getting organised now or it will be in full swing before we know it!
Birthdays greetings for this month are for Tamara and Richard celebrating on the 13th, enjoy your day.
Swim-a-Thon, Wed 28th Oct. We had ten swimmers on the night each set to do 3 x 15 mins.100 form stroke between each 15mins, with 100 to finish off. The total distance covered was 21.3km. Leonie and Barbara did the cooking on the BBQ and did a great job with the sausages and onions. Wrapped in bread the snags and onions went down a treat, together with tea or coffee. Half of all funds raised will go to Cancer Support. I hope you have all done well. Monies to be in asap. Thanks to all who participated (reported by Robert Birch).
Well done Robert and the Wednesday swimmers. Sounds like you had a good time.

Thoughts for the month:
“A person who laughs at himself will never cease to be amused”, (actress Shirley MacLaine).
“Man was given a sense of humour to compensate for nature’s law of gravity”, (anonymous).
Please keep collecting cans (especially over the Christmas period), Every little bit helps towards expenses.
Happy swimming and stay safe.
