Flashes achieved at Counties and club champs
Well done everyone. |
|
Happy Birthday to
the following: |
Teddies.
|
It’s A Knockout
|
|
Club Champs.
On Club Champ
nights only lanes 1 & 2 will be coached at 6pm, they are welcome to enter
club champs but everyone else is expected to have entered. With so many new
members who may not be familiar with how club champs work I thought a short
explanation may help or may serve as a useful reminder, so Heather has
written this:
There is large
piece of paper on the back of the notice board, in the foyer. It is there
that you enter yourself (by writing your name and date of birth-in the
correct age group column e.g. u10). The paper is collected in two weeks or
so before the actual event, so your name would have to be on there
before it is collected in. If your name is not on the sheet and you
want to take part you would be
able to swim, but only for a time.
On the night of the
event you have to whip in at a table by your changing room. This is
so the stewards know you are present and can call you for your race.
Warm-up starts at 6:45
Water Polo by Steve Chambers
As the Winter League comes to a close it has
been a mixed season with the senior’s struggling to hold onto their Division One
status a recent technical win at home to penguin may still not be enough to keep
Watford from relegation & with the final league table due out soon Watford can
only hope they have managed to escape the exit door, more news in next month’s
newsletter. In the Winter league Senior knockout Cup Watford narrowly lost to
Enfield 8-9 over the two legged final.
On the Junior side Watford have performed well fielding teams at Under 18, 16 &
now under 12 so the future is looking promising, anyone wishing to join the team
at any age level, please join a polo session on either Wednesday evening or
Sunday afternoon.
