Wolverhampton Swimming Club

Monthly Committee Meeting October 2005

"In Brief"

Our meeting this month started on a very sad note with the news that Bert Nevin had passed away. Bert was a long serving member of Wolverhampton Swimming Club Committee and was our Treasurer before he became ill. We held a 1minutes silence for him and our President Mrs Helen Ward will be sending a card of condolence.

It was felt that there was some urgency needed in sorting out courses for our poolside helpers to attend. Although some of them have attended Continuing Professional Development courses (CPD) they now need to get their assistant teachers qualification. Ian Hadley managed to locate one himself and is to be congratulated on passing the course.

Jane sent us a very lengthy report which the committee felt warranted a deeper discussion with Jane and so a meeting was arranged for 3rd November where we could give the report our attention.

The meeting ended with a piece of good news from our President, Helen Ward. Mrs Ward’s eldest daughter Kate, a member of Wolverhampton Swimming Club, has been presented with a special award for the under 25s at the Young Volunteers for 2012 CCPR Fundraising Luncheon at St James’ Palace in London. The award was presented by HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh for eight years devoted to volunteering in swimming.

We were also informed that another member of the family, Tony Ward, received the Silver Pin for services to National swimming.

Carol Cockayne Hon Secretary.
