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are now either not well enough or for other reasons no longer active club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.
