First Kingfishers Club Night After Summer Break – Wednesday 4th September 2019

First Kingfishers Club Night After Summer Break – Wednesday 4th September

Welcome back everyone after our summer break. Please be reminded of the following changes:

  • Polite reminder that any members that have moved to secondary school in September will be automatically moved from 7-8pm to 8-9pm on Wednesday night if they aren’t already swimming at this time. We have to make these moves to allow new younger swimmers early water time when joining our club.
  • New monthly charges will come into effect from September 1st with a small increase of monthly fees. This has had to be increased due to the lack of fund raising activities. Hopefully we can encourage some volunteers to fill some of our club volunteer vacancies in the months ahead. If you can help please let the front desk know any little support or time you can give will be much appreciated.
    • 1 Session per week £13
    • 2 Session per week £26
    • 3/4 Hours per week £39
    • 5 Hours plus per week £64

Many Thanks Your Committee
