November 2015

Our AGM will be held on the above date, at the Gosforth Lodge in Cliffe Park.

The club is looking for volunteers who are willing to help. If you would like to get involved with

running the swimming club, no matter how much time you are able to spare, any amount of

help you can offer will be greatly appreciated. You can do as little or as much as you feel

happy with, and whatever the role, support and help is always on hand.

If you are interested and require any information prior to the AGM, please contact Roger Gore

or Ann Basford via our website. Alternatively, just come along to the AGM for a coffee and a

chat.

Thank you for your continued support.
