Accolades and Queue Jumpers

Results from Wednesday's race night have now been posted. 18 Swimmers were in attendance as were 9 officials. A big thanks to the officials as these race nights can't go ahead without them. In all there were 9 new records set - 5 to the ladies, 3 to the men and 1 new relay record.

Personally, I would like to make mention of the time that Giles swam for his 100m Free - 1.00.47 - that is really knocking loudly on the door of a sub-60 swim, so we shall be looking for that milestone some time very soon (no pressure Giles!).

Swimmer of the Month went to Anne Legg. This was very deserved. Anne works tirelessly in the background arranging social events for all of us to enjoy. Thanks Anne and now you can enjoy looking at the trophy on your mantlepiece for a few weeks.

The wooden spoon was also given out. This one is a bit of a case of 'you had to be there'. But it went to our very own Barry Davies (aka B-Dizzle). Not to be out-shone by Audrey and Rachel, Barry heard 'take your marks, GO; so he did'. Unfortunately, it wasn't his race. Or perhaps he thought Audrey and Rachel were drowning and being ever gallant he was simply diving in to save them - sounds good anyway doesn't it Barry.

Don't forget to vote on what you prefer in the way of a t-shirt for the North Island Champs. There are only 2 days left before the survey closes so please cast your votes now. Thank you.
