Wolverhampton Swimming Club

Monthly Committee Meeting June 2005

"In Brief"

This month the committee discussed the proposed joint Club Gala with Bilston swimming club. The parents who attended the meeting last week were in agreement and most thought it was a good idea. Our next step is to put our proposals to Bilston and wait for their Committee to discuss it before coming back to us.

We also discussed the new web site which has been developed by Paul Millington. The Committee felt that it is looking good and that Paul has some good ideas for making it even better. It was felt that some information regarding the Swim 21 accreditation should be included. We are trying to get someone to present the certificate at the presentation evening.

One of our parents has agreed to work out a “Phone Tree” to make it easier to contact people in the event of a pool closure. She is awaiting telephone numbers from Dave Fereday, our Chairman.

The cost effectiveness of a coach to Leamington Spa on 2nd July was discussed and it was felt that the only way the Club could afford it was if the coach were full.

Wayne Stevens, our Competition Secretary, was congratulated on his success in the Masters Counties Championships.

Matt Mitchell, our Treasurer, was congratulated on receiving the Presidents Trophy for services to swimming. This was awarded by past Presidents.

Congratulations are to be sent to Jacob Laybourne for achieving so many National Qualifying times.

The possibility of a Club Photo to include Chris Fox before his disappearance to Australia was discussed and this is to be arranged.

We were informed by Tony Ward that a timekeeper’s course is to be run and Stephen Cockayne is to see who wishes to attend.

Carol Cockayne Hon Secretary.
