Extracts from our Annual Report 2005/2006	The Club provides recreational swimming facilities at Motcombe Pool, Eastbourne for disabled members every Sunday afternoon from 2pm to 5pm.
Chairman's Review of the Year 2005/06 was a good year for our club. We had a thriving membership, enjoyable social and fund raising events and an excellent Fun Gala.  I feel that next year will be more of a year of challenge and change.
The Club Stall at the Rotary Fun Day in May 2005	The Gala was a great success and a very important event for our club members as it gives everyone a chance to compete and have fun.  We are very lucky that Eastbourne Lions are so enthusiastic and enjoy helping us to put on this event. The Rotary Fun Day held in May was another excellent event, with a team of walkers on the sponsored seafront walk and a team at our fundraising stall on the Western Lawns. As always, our helpers in the pool have been invaluable and I would like to thank them for their commitment and enthusiasm but we need more helpers.
The Christmas Fair, held at St Luke’s Parish Centre, Stone Cross, was also very short of club helpers.  I feel that the explanation for this is that the members who used to help us are now either not well enough or for other reasons no longer active club members.  Although overall club membership is increasing, the balance between disabled and associate members has altered and we have far fewer members able to take an active part in running the club.  In September the club took part in a Volunteer Fair organised by EAVS at the Winter Gardens where we had a club stand and attended several workshops.  Social events included a meal at the Castle Restaurant in August and the very popular Christmas Party which was again held at the Congress Hotel. Our aim for the coming year is to attract more helpers so that we can continue to provide good swimming facilities for disabled people.	The Club stand at the Volunteer Fair in September 2005
