Many thanks for supporting
this meet, we look forward to welcoming you all, –the number of entries once
again has been unprecedented, we have tried to accommodate as many entries as
possible, however there were inevitably some rejections.
Because we have
accommodated more swimmers there will obviously be more spectators which means
that the stands will be full, so please take the opportunity to take advantage
of the café & outdoor space between races so that everyone is able to see
their child/ren swim.
Parking will also be at a
premium, we would encourage car sharing where possible, as the payable pool
parking can get very busy. Alternative parking is available directly opposite
the entrance to Pingles (entrance is by the traffic lights opposite the Cedar
Tree pub) this is a free carpark and is approx. 2-3 mins walk from the pool,
there is also a free car park on Attleborough Road opposite the Bull pub, this
is also free and is approx. 5 mins walk to the pool.
We will also be monitoring
bags on poolside, we have stated in the promoters conditions that swimmers
should only bring a small bag (drawstring PE bag/bootbag size) on poolside, this
is to ensure that the room on poolside is kept free for swimmers and so that air
vents are not blocked. Large bags or any non essential items will not be
permitted on poolside. Swimmers/coaches will be asked to put them in a locker or
leave with parents in the stands.
We have
organised additional benches poolside for swimmers & coaches so please do
not bring any fold up chairs with you, there will be no room for these and if
they are brought in you will be asked to remove them from
poolside.
There are plenty of lockers
available in the changing rooms for all bags, coats & personal
items.
There will not be a swim
shop at the meet as the room will be used for marshalling to ensure the smooth
running of the meet. As this room is by the entrance can we please ask that
swimmers, parents, coaches leave this area free so we can avoid
congestion.
Swimmers are not allowed in
the stands or the marshalling room with bare feet so please make sure that all
swimmers/coaches have suitable footwear with you. We will be strictly enforcing
this so please pass this info on to parents to avoid any unnecessary upset.
Entry is £5 for the day or
£3 per session, programmes are available at an extra cost. We will be running a
raffle and also a chocolate tombola.
There is a café on site and
supermarkets/shops are within walking distance of the pool.
We are still short
officials for all sessions, I would just like to remind all clubs who have
submitted entries that it is a requirement as per our terms and conditions that
you supply officials, to make sure the meet is able to run. We would appreciate any clubs who have yet to do so
please urgently send details of officials to mrsmoot@btinternet.com
. If as a club you are unable to supply the
required officials please contact the same email to advise
this.
Thank you again for
supporting our meet, the above details are purely to help the smooth running of
the meet, we hope you have an enjoyable weekend.
