How fantastic was the Northern Open! So many Northern swimmers, so many PBs and so many of our swimmers in the finals> It was a brilliant day and a great end to the season.

 

Clare Soar, our Club President says:

“The Northern Open was a great success- this was due to the many people who supported us and to all the fantastic parents and helpers who gave their time freely. Many were there from 8am to 8pm.

A special thank you to David Anderson and Joanne Smith who worked tirelessly for many months prior to the Open to make everything possible.

Thanks too to Charlotte Anderson created a scrummy buffet for all the helpers/officials/coaches.

And a big thank you to the officials from many other clubs who gave their time to Northern.

Thank you to you all.

Then on the day the swimmers! I think this is probably my 9th or 10th and I have never seen so many Northern swimmers enter. The PBs were many. I also have never shaken hands with so many Northern finalists, well done. Matthew Anderson has to be congratulated. Matthew  won 4 races and came second in one, t his meant he missed being top boy by only one point.

Well done to Sharon and all the coaches for training the swimmers and for making this possible

Congratulations and thank you to you all”

So if you feel you could help the Club by running the 100 Club and raising much needed funds for the Club please let Michelle or one off the Committee members know. A very big thank you to Michelle for all that you have done with this fund raising scheme – it is very much appreciated.

 

Club Champs

Looking forward to Club Champs, which will run from 1 November (for more details see next Newsletter or keep a look out on the website).

Galas

We had a great time at the first round of the Development League at Bramcote with a lot of swimmers representing Northern for the first time.

 

Unfortunately we could not raise a team to go to the Sutton Gala on the 12th of June

 

Again we were low on swimmers for the second round of the Development League Gala on  3rd of July at Mansfield so we missed out on 16 races

We came 12th in the league.

Nottingham Northern Open Meet

What a Fantastic day! The Club entered 32 swimmers who achieved 73 PBs. 18 times we had swimmers in finals and 21 trophies were won by Northern swimmers. 

Our swimmers were on their best behaviour. Well done to all of them!
