Thank you for helping...... - 30 June 2010
Thanks to all those of you who helped out at the Summer Gala last week. Many of the usual faces turned up to assist plus some very welcome new faces. The food spread for the officals and coaches was amazing and conduct of our swimmers first class. The total amount raised was a little under £3000 which was superb considering entries were down on last year but the raffle and food assisted in boosting funds.Your help is really appreciated and although it is often said - the success of all our events really does rely on support from our parents.
