Squad Training Schedule Term 2 2014 updated 12May14

Hi All,

The club is targeting the Ginninderra Winter Short Course Meet on the weekend of 21-22 June 2014 at the AIS (Australian Institute of Sport) in Canberra.

It is a fun family weekend of competition, food and ten pin bowling where families and children can mix and get to know each other.

It is the responsibility of each family to fund their weekend away and organise their own travel and accommodation. Fiona De Salis is organising dinner at the Belconnen Labor Club and Ten Pin Bowling at AMF Bowling Belconnen. Please make sure you let Fiona (fionadesalis@optusnet.com.au) know how many adults and children for dinner and bowling.

Here is the UPDATED program for the meet. Please have your completed entry cards in the drop box at the Aquatic Centre before close of club night Wednesday 4 June 2014.

If you are unsure of how to complete your entry cards, please speak to your coach or feel free to contact me. Payment for entries is by EFT into the Abbotsleigh Swimming Club account. Payment details are here.

Kind regards,
Liz
Race Secretary – Abbotsleigh Swimming Club
