OK no more talk of turkey

its 2008 and we have a lot of work to do

In the post today is the (late) term application - as you know we are already into T2 but we hold off the paperwork till after Christmas being the nice people that we are!

Included in this mailing is a new form for completion by your guardians / parents (or you if you are 18+). This is essential for everyone and is compulsory from 2008.

Staff - there are some changes happening affecting us all (all good) MC will be in in contact and will speak Sunday otherwise speak John, Mark or Kate

we will be looking at lanes again for new members on Sunday week - obviously we don't expect much movement but where we can we will be back filling.

thats about it - too cold for surfing this weekend so feet up and see you all in the pool Sunday

take care and look after yourselves

p.s. anyone who did a Christmas swim but did not get their santa seal MC will have them Sunday ;-)

p.p.s latest AED and some new pics up this weekend

Happy New Year

what a year, what an amazingly successful, magic and fun year

its that time of the year when we get to sit down and look at the plans for next year.

2007 was a strong year, our defibrillator is now in place and we are working with sponsors to help install many many new AED accross Ireland. We will run courses at least monthly in DCU to keep up with demand.

j.e.d.i. our latest rescue boat had her launch - a long time coming but wow - what a sight.

The beach hut has imporved beyond recognition and was geared up to a standard that everyone wanted but so-one thought possible.

Sundays go from strength to strength, pool and beach lifeguard registrations start January

and a plan .......... great work continues to be done to reduce the levies paid by volunteers - we now are expanding out to support anyone who wants access. Multi discipline TA courses will be the order of the day and thats only one step on the 10 point action plan

so now to write an annual report...................... how on earth are we going to put that year in one page ?

;-) - happy new year everyone - thanks for all your hard work

and special thanks to Laurie, Olivia, Keith and Peter who continue to show what true integtrity is at great personal cost - all we have asked for and continue to ask for is transparency

Christmas

It can't be a month - well ok

lots up - will update over the break - remember no swim 23rd - see you first Sun in the new year.
