BOBSC Bulletin: Christmas Sprint

B.O.B.S.C CHRISTMAS SPRINT

 

Dear Parents/Guardians

 

As you will realise the Christmas Sprint is almost upon us.  As part of the Fundraising for the club we historically hold a Prize Raffle at the sprint.  As part of this raffle we usually have various hampers which are made up of items kindly donated by our fabulous members. 

 

I have printed out lists of items which we need for the hampers and will start handing them out next week for people to donate things if they wish.

 

Once again thank you for your generosity without your support we would not be able to carry on as we are.

 

ALSO THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY WHO HAS SO FAR VOLUNTEERED TO HELP ON THE DAY OF THE SPRINT WE REALLY COULDNT DO IT WITHOUT YOU.

 

I STILL NEED HELP PLEASE THOUGH SO IF ANYBODY WOULD BE WILLING TO OFFER HELP FOR THE TOMBOLA STALL WHICH IS UPSTAIRS ON THE BALCONY OR IF YOU COULD OFFER SUPPORT WITH SECURITY ON BOTH THE UPSTAIRS DOORS AND DOWNSTAIRS POOLSIDE ENTRANCE IT WOULD BE GREATLEY APPRECIATED

BOBSC Bulletin: A Message from the Press Officer - Splash! swim hats, Barnsley Chronicle & Adverts

 

Dear all

 

Many thanks for your positive comments relating to the recent issue of the BoBSC magazine Splash!  We are beginning to develop the content for the next issue and we would welcome any swimmers (or parents) who would like to be involved in the publication. Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Also just a reminder that the swim hat design competition comes to an end on Friday 4^th November.  In case you have misplaced your sheets a new one is attached and Mr Mick is looking forward to receiving your entries.  Also we have secure space at a community art gallery being held in November in Barnsley town centre on the 18^th & 19^th November. All entries will be displayed for members of the public to view! If any of you possess the artistic skills and have the time to create a mounted display of the entries please let me know (press@bobsc.co.uk)

 

After every swimming gala we always let the Barnsley Chronicle know of the successes of our swimmers.  In order to give our articles that extra bit of interest we are keen to hear from swimmers or parents about their experience or particular successes. So if a PB was smashed, it was your first gala or some other newsworthy activity occurred please let me know.  I am also happy to receive photos of swimmers but please note that pictures cannot be passed onto the Chronicle unless a current parental release form has been provided for all swimmers in the photograph. Parents / carers, if you have not completed a consent form for the 2016 / 2017 season please can you do so – the form is attached.

 

Finally, we are selling advertising space within our Christmas Sprint gala handbook.  If you know of any company that would like to buy some space please let me know or feel free to pass my contact details on (press@bobsc.co.uk).  We are expecting around 500 swimmers to attend the gala from the Yorkshire area.  The cost for an advert will be £50 for an A4 and £30 for A5 (half page) and can be printed in colour.

 

Happy colouring

 

Regards

Adrian Wightman – Press Officer

BOBSC Bulletin: Scarborough A&B Gala 2017

Dear Parents

 

It's that time again when we are organising the annual Scarborough trip on the 16th -18th June 2017. 

 

For many years we have been organising a residential trip to Scarborough and we are looking to rebook the Labaia hotel for the weekend.  We leave early afternoon on Friday afternoon and we return Sunday evening. 

 

Swimmers can stay at the hotel without parents if they are 11 or over.

 

Families wishing to stay at the hotel need to talk to me to see if we have family rooms for your stay. 

 

The weekend consists of bed and breakfast for both days and an evening meal on Friday.  We also get packed lunches for both days.  Children will have to pay for their meal out on the Saturday.

 

The price will be £90

 

Deposits need to be paid by November 13th and fully paid by 31st January.

 

This offer is addition to the gala and swimmers can make their own arrangements if required

 

The Scarborough meet is a great fun gala and is an A and B grade competition. It's a team building meet and an opportunity to try races that your children have never raced before.  By swimming many races it also keeps them busy.  My recommendation is to swim as many as they can.

 

Please let me know if you want to book your places.

 

Thanks

 

Craig

BOBSC Bulletin: Bottle Flipping

 

All

You may be aware of the latest kids game called bottle flipping, there are many videos in YouTube.

Unfortunately this has spread to both poolside and changing rooms with swimmers using their drinks bottles to flip.

We have had a few instances of near misses and more worryingly times when children and adults have been hit with the bottles.

Could you please advise your children not to partake in bottle flipping whilst at poolside.

Many thanks

BOBSC Bulletin: Collection after Sessions

 

 

TO ALL MEMBERS.

 

You may recall our email in May as below regarding pick up after session,  as the dark nights are upon us could we please issue a gentle reminder.  

 

As a club we do not expect every parent to sit through every training session, but we do expect parents to leave some contact details with someone at the pool. This can be another parent, committee member or the coach in charge.

Also when returning to collect your swimmer we expect you to be there on time, ideally inside the building before the end of the session.

 

Kind Regards

 

BOBSC

 

Committee
