Orion News - 21st April 2013
Gala Victory
Orion recorded an excellent victory in the final Worcester Winter league gala. This was a great team triumph with Carl sharing out the individual races and picking strong relay teams. Congratulations to all the swimmers who took part and also those that push them hard for places in training.
On the organizational front the gala was also a success because of great teamwork. I would like to thank all the parents who helped out and performed their roles so well. (and with very little moaning - that I heard at least !!)
Swimathon
Thanks to all those who have let Karen know they will be attending. As mentioned previously we will need all parents as 'counters'. Also we ask your patience with start times as we will have more than 25 swimmers in the two lanes over the two hours or so. We would like to ask you to bring a donation for the designated charity 'Marie Curie'.
The final thing is that it would be really useful to have a couple of parents looking after the badges and certificates during the evening-please let me know if that can be you!!
Or bring a donation on the night.
Fun-a-thon
Entry forms will be coming out this week for three different events
1 - Children's - all ages welcome
2 - Adults - all abilities and ages welcome!!
3 - Relays - everyone else welcome. We envisage the relays to be mostly children/adult combinations. This section is not 'timed' and is meant to be fun and to get some of the inactive taxi driving parents to become active for the morning!!! (fancy dress welcome). Children and adults can compete in the individual and relay events.
June 9th in your diary please.
Team photo
We would like to get some club photos this Thursday at 7.20pm at KEBS ideally in the new kit and especially of the gala winning swimmers with the trophy. So remember to add Orion shirts, shorts, hoodies to your Thursday night kit bag.
Level one course
We are very close to being able to run a level one teaching/coaching course 'in house' if we have a few more willing to participate. As most of you know there is a continuing need to add to our teaching and coaching base so all volunteers are welcome and will be supported.
