AGM Reminder

Just a reminder that the club's AGM is on Friday 18th commencing 19:00. Please try to be there is you can. The organisation and running of the club is a team effort and cannot be left just to the committee, who have put in a lot of work over the past year. We need your support as well.

Rochester to Strand Trip Cancelled

Since the conditions amount to force 4, this trip is cancelled on safety grounds. Watch out for the next good tide on a better day.

Pool session tonight (15th Feb) - CANCELLED

I'm really sorry, but the pool has just called me (14:30) and told me that their lifeguard has fallen over and broken her ankle.  They've been unable to find a replacement lifeguard.Unfortunately they won't accept one of our lifeguards - only their own vetted employees - and so I have to cancel tonight's session.I'm really sorry about that - please book on the next available slot, and I look forward to seeing you on the next one.
