Why not join us for another Pizza Evening on Thursday 27th September 2018… the last pizza evening was a great success. We also intend to hold the Special General Meeting (SGM), postponed from 16th July, on the same evening… don’t panic, its deliberate… as we need as least 7 SMSC members present to be able to vote the new constitution in! Unless anyone has any concerns over the proposed new constitution (you shouldn’t, but if you do please do raise them with a member of the committee beforehand as it’ll be a simple Yes/No vote on 27th), the SGM should simply be a 5-minute formality … then it’s pizza and a pint for as long as you like!

Hello Everyone Unfortunately there’s no lifeguard available on Friday so the session has been cancelled. Sorry for any inconvenience Mark

Steve Birch is a fairly recent member who has been swimming with us on a Sunday and Tuesday and is taking part in a sponsored swim for The Level Water Charity. The Level Water Charity provides free one-to-one swimming lessons for children with disabilities. Without one-to-one disability swimming lessons, most of these children would never learn to swim. Level Water provides one-to-one lessons until each child has learnt to swim 15m frontcrawl and backstroke.
