Some exciting news about Junior League 2019
Could we start by saying a huge “WELL DONE” to all the swimmers who have contributed to our success
in reaching the final. With your hard work and committment to each event we have maintained a position within
Division 2 and won ourselves a place in the finals.
This will be held on the 15th September 2019, times and venue to be confirmed soon
For the finals it is really important that we field the strongest team possible to help secure our position in the Division.
We regret not all swimmers will be invited to the finals but are thankful for their contribution to the competition
throughout the year and the supports of our parents and carers. A team list is being prepared by the coaches and
will be circulated once complete. But could we ask that you all save the date in your diairies please.
In true Junior League style there will be a Fancy Dress Parade (we have done exceptionally well in the past) and the
theme this year will be one that celebrates 50 years since The Beetles recorded at Abbey Road Studios, therefore we are
thinking, pops stars, musicians, fans and obviously the famous 4.
We have booked a coach to transport the swimmers to the pool and seats for parents will be available on a first come
first served basis, again names will be taken once the team lists are circulated.
Tickets for the finals are requiredfor supporters and we have been allocated 40.
Harvey and Chris have been selected to compete for DSGB at European Down Syndrome Championships in Sardinia next with our very own Keith Hall being name Head Coach for the competition!
We wish them all the best of luck for the competition!
Please find below all the information that you need for the upcoming galas that you may want to attend. If you are unsure which competition you should be entering please talk to your coach.
Please take note of the date for entries, try not to leave it till the last minute.

Dear Parents, Swimmers and Carers,
Following on from my recent email regarding fee changes, the Board has reviewed the Club’s income and expenditure since September 2018 and has had to make the unfortunate decision that a subscription increase is necessary to ensure the Club finances remain viable.
From September, the revised fee structure will be as follows:
Elite – the subscription cost will rise from £80 per month to £85 per month
Age Group Performance will rise from £65 per month to £70 per month
Junior Potential will rise from £50 per month to £57.50 per month.
Junior Development and Skills Development subscriptions will remain unchanged as will those related to the Swim Fitness groups the Club runs.
The annual membership fee will remain unchanged.
This decision wasn’t taken lightly and has been delayed as long as possible. Club fees have been held at their existing level for more than 4 years. As mentioned in my previous mail, we have seen cost increases from both Catterick Leisure Centre and Richmond Leisure Trust this year, with Catterick’s pool hire being particularly impactful with a rise of 22%. This has been balanced by the Club having had a successful fundraising year, lead by Amy Simeon and supported by many volunteers. Gala income is variable and cannot be guaranteed, indeed we recognise as a Board our Gala program is subject to competition with other Clubs.
With the increase in pool costs and the variability of gala income we cannot assume future years’ fundraising and gala efforts will have the same financial benefit to the Club. Given the gap between subscription income and Club expenditure, it is appropriate to act prudently now to ensure the Club remains financially viable into the future.
Thank you all very much for your support over the last year. Finally could I please ask that you update any standing orders in place to reflect the new few structure for the 1st September 2019 onwards.
Kindest regards
Richmond Dales Committee
