It has been agreed that the we will trial the idea of running a second-hand equipment shop as a bolt on to the club shop. The idea is very simple you donate any unwanted, outgrown, unfashionable items of equipment such as goggles, flippers, kick boards, etc and we will try an re sell them onto other swimmers at a nominal price. 100% of the selling price will go direct to raise money for the club. The items will be placed in a bucket that will be available when the club shop is open. If you have any items suitable for donation please pass to Alison Hollis. If you require a second hand item at short notice then please also contact Alison Hollis on any club night!
Help the environment by recycling goods, help the club by raising money help the swimmer by having some equipment in reserve!
