Christmas Gala, Presentation & Bowling

Annual Xmas Gala and Presentation - 25.11.21 update
Thankyou to those that have signed up for the Christmas gala and Bowling. We now have 61 signed up for the Xmas gala and 51 for the bowling.
Fees
I have attached the fees list for this event - see here. The committee have very kindly agreed to pay for the bowling as a thank you for everyones support during Covid over the past 2 years. The fees are therefore only for the Xmas gala and raffle tickets. Please could payments be made by 2nd December at the latest, to the normal club account, with the reference <surname>Xmas.
Volunteers
Thankyou to everyone that has volunteered to help at the Xmas gala. We are currently working out the roles and will get back to you once it is sorted.
Raffle Prizes
If you have any prizes for the raffle that you would like to donate, then please bring them to training on Saturday or Sunday morning sessions, where we will collect them.
Lateral Flow Testing
As we will be a large group at the Xmas gala, we would like everyone to take a lateral flow test on the friday evening or saturday morning. We want to avoid members of the club getting Covid a week away from the National Arena League Final!
Bowling
Bowling is booked for 7pm and so please could swimmers arrive for 6:45. The estimated finish is 9pm. We have put you into lanes, which you will find out on the day. We have had a lot of interest in this and so unfortunately no parents or family members will be able to take part as well.
Please could swimmers wear suitable footwear for bowling in, as they will not be providing bowling shoes.
Annual Xmas Gala and Presentation
This year, we will be holding our annual Xmas Gala and the club Presentation on the same day.
In the evening, there is a team social arranged - 10-Pin Bowling!!!
Details are below - any questions, please get in touch with either Joe, Gill or Toni.
We have a sign-up form here, please complete this form by November 19th.
Annual Xmas Gala
10:10 - 12:30 @ KGLC (please note the additional 20 mins).
This is a competitive, but fun gala for ALL levels of swimmer.
We are keeping the entry fee the same as in 2019, £5 per swimmer.
We will spilt into 4 teams with the older swimmers in a team helping to look after the younger ones.
It was a shame to have to cancel this last year, so it would be great to get as many people as possible involved this time around.
Unfortunately, there are no spectators allowed.
However, there are opportunities to get involved with timekeeping which not only helps us out but also means you can watch your kid(s) swim!!! More details on the sign-up form.
The Presentation will take place poolside once the Gala has finished.
Various annual awards will be given out and a rousing speech from our Head Coach will have the swimmers all standing and cheering.
Team Social - Bowling
19:00 start @ The Hollywood Bowlplex near The Kassam Stadium
Cost : £14 (16+), £12 (under 16) - the cost is for two games of bowling.
We will find out who is the 2021 KGSC Bowling Champion!
All ages of swimmers are welcome and encouraged to join in - this will be a very enjoyable evening and a chance for the swimmers to let their hair down (literally) and bond out of the water.
We have enough space for all swimmers, but we will also look into additional lanes for parents and/or siblings if there is enough interest. Again, there is an opportunity to let us know your preferences on the sign-up form.
Parents are also welcome to stay and not bowl.
