Fun Day and Sponsored Walk on Sunday 24th August.
The walk starts on the
Western Lawns at 11 am and we are aiming to go as far as Treasure Island
and back. We should finish the 3 mile walk in time for the usual afternoon
swimming at Motcombe. Sponsor forms and more details are available from
Rowena.

Fun Gala
Our

pool but Claire's "Blue Team" (Mary, Peggy, Emma, John, Maggie
and Shirley) were the winners.

Hoist Chairs
The
club’s hoist at Motcombe Pool is almost 20 years old and the two detachable “Swim
chairs” have worn out.
We have replaced them at a cost of £2250. This is on top of the annual hoist maintenance costs and pool hire
charges.
We launched an appeal for additional
funding and are pleased to report that the cost of the chairs has now been
met.
Thanks to Rotary AM, Eastbourne Lions,
Esperance Hospital, Club members and Sussex Masonic Charities we also have
funding for the annual maintenance cost.
