Club News - Dave Lloyd has kindly volunteered to try and keep our club notice board up to date with club and swimmer news and information. He has set up the following e-mail account, swimnotice@hotmail.co.uk so that any information, news articles, etc. that may be of interest to the membership can be forwarded to him for inclusion on the notice board. It would be great if everyone can offer their support to this, so that all club news can be viewed by all and all our good work and positive results kept up to date! Many thanks to Dave for taking this on
