Normal Business

  1. Chair's Remarks

Pride on the Range was great. Good turnout, mainly from Wednesday group.

Pink Picnic was discussed. In view of our Monday session the committee feels this would be a good event to promote in the future.

Swimmers recently attended an open water event at Sale Water Park which was a great event.

  1. Treasurer

Bank balance around £9,000 with expenditure slightly higher due to recent billing.

  1. Membership

Attendance remains consistent across all sessions.

  1. Coaching

Coaching is going well. Monday sessions have lower attendance, but the session is well enjoyed by those who do attend. Edwin remains open to feedback on coaching and ideas for our double-length sessions throughout the summer.

  1. Welfare

Jess recently attended a safeguarding course for welfare officers and updated the committee.

Other Business

  1. AOB

Socials

Encouragement given to keep these going on a regular basis and for them to be promoted by each session rep.

Plans for a walk before the pool party with a meal afterwards.

Pink Picnic will be promoted next year.
