Messages from the committee
Gary Howard - (Chairman)
Please remember that from now on to use the pool on a club night you MUST sign in first. The Pool Marshall will have the signing in book.
Len Sumner—(Training Officer)
We are thinking about starting the next Ocean Diver course in July but at the moment we only have a couple of people who have shown any interest, hence we need some more to make it worth while doing.
Do you have any friends, relatives, work colleagues etc who might be inter-ested in doing a try dive and subsequently might want to progress onto the Ocean Diver course. Please chase them up and if you need any additional info / posters to help, then let me know and I will send them to you.
I also want to run a couple of sessions for people who want to assist at the pool and / or do pool try dives.
Please let me know if you would be interested and I'll arrange them after the current course has finished and before the next one begins. This is open to everybody in the club, regardless of grade because we always need people to help out and it is a very good way of keeping your skills unto date
Please let me know if you want to
(a) - assist
(b) - do a try dive
(c) - do both
Cheers - Len
