Annual Midlothian Minnows

The 7th Annual Midlothian Minnows took place at the Mercat Gait Pool in Prestonpans on Saturday 16th May. Swimmers aged 8 to 12 took part from eight competing clubs. A lot of good times were put in despite it being the 1st competition for some of the younger swimmers. Midlothian did well, leading in the 1st half, but were overtaken in the second half by Hearts and Kelso. Kelso took the Minnows trophy back home with them beating Hearts by a mere 10 points and Midlothian by 13.

Committee Plea for Help!

Our club could not operate without the work our Committee does.  The Committee has a number of sub-committees dedicated to progressing areas of development for the club including Fundraising, Sponsorship and Training/Coaches development.  If any parents feel they would like to lend a hand on one of the sub-committees without committting to full blown Committee membership we’d love to hear from you.  The Committee page has a list of current members.  Please approach any of them if you’d like to discuss further.  Or e-mail the website and your query will be passed on.

Thank you!

Bag Packing/Fund Raising Update

Sorry, a little late in reporting this but the last bag packing stint just after Christmas involved a record 56 swimmers and made the club a massive £1607.  Thanks to everyone who turned up and special thanks to Dianne Graham and Yvonne Gray for their continued fantastic efforts in fund raising events – where would we be without them!  The next bagpacking date is Sunday 26 April – get it in your diaries.

Our fundraising account is now the healthiest its been for years and the Fund Raising Committee are actively considering the best way to use and manage the money.  The latest donation is to the Forres Trip happening this weekend.  The Committee also decided that the portion of sponsorship money donated to the club from the 10k swim organised by Vicky should be split 50% to Vicky’s Malawi appeal, and 50% to the fundraising account for future use.
