Club BBQ - Saturday 18th July

We're holding a Club Summer BBQ for all the family again this year on Saturday 18th July at the Home Guard, Tiddington.  More details here. 

For those of you who've never been before the Home Guard Club is on the playing fields so there's lots of room for games and for parents to be able to sit out and enjoy some food and the odd drink (Bar is open all day) and let the 'athletes' burn off some energy.

For the competitive parents (do we have any of those?) you can try and beat the offspring at some of the games, no sulking allowed.

Education and Training

You can download here (pdf) all the details for the West Midlands region education and training opportunities in the forthcoming future.  Please have a look at the courses available and see if you are interested in any.  I will gladly advise any Sharks volunteer as to their next step on the aquatics education ladder, or if you have any queries regarding any of the information included then please don't hesitate to contact me.  Funding maybe available to reduce the course costs, from West Midlands Swimming and CSW Sport, and the swimming club may also be able to offer subsidies in return for your continued support. 

 

I would also like to point out that as a club we need to ensure that all helpers have completed a CRB (criminal records bureau) check, and also have attended a child protection workshop within the last three years.  I will endeavour to ensure everyone fulfils this requirement however it would be good to hear from anyone who knows that they have yet to do so.  Whilst, also on that note I would add to the course list the following:

 

Stratford District Council are holding

Safeguarding & Protecting Children workshop,

Wednesday 24th June 2009 at Stratford High School, evening workshop - time TBA 

 

This workshop is being run at a considerably less cost per delegate than the usual ones via the ASA, but it still qualifies under the mandatory requirement, therefore all helpers are encouraged to attend this workshop if at all possible should you need this as an initial qualification or renewal.  Please contact me should you wish to book on any of the courses and hence I look forward to hearing from you all, but in the meantime, on behalf of the membership I thank you all for your very valued time.
