Blog 2235: Away Gala

The club are looking at an away gala at the Taunton Deane Open Meet on July 11th/12th.

An away meet is where the team travel together with only coach and team managers; no parents travel to the gala.

The team will travel by mini bus on the Friday and stay at a hotel together; costings will be around £209 per swimmer including food. Event entries will be additional. Returning Sunday evening.

Even though this is a Level 3 meet, entries will be accepted first from those swimmers who qualify for Level 1/2 meets as this will be their focus meet for the season end or the last chance for race practice prior to National Championships.

Level 3 swimmers should be aiming for City of Derby B grade and all swimmers should be entering a full programme of events at the Club Championships.

A maximum of 20 swimmers will be going to Taunton Deane and the Head Coach will have the final selection if more than 20 apply, with things like behaviour, needs of the swimmer and a reward for supportive parents; after all we are looking after your kids for a whole weekend.

If you are interested please email Spen by the 31st of March.

No extensions or exceptions will be made to this deadline
