Congratulations on another great Meet
Congratulations to everyone who was a part of our carnival on Saturday
night. As arguably the biggest event on our annual calendar it was
great to see it go off with out a hitch.
Thank you to everyone who
helped in the both the lead up to and on the actual night. There are
far too many to name individually but I would be remiss to not mention
the following standouts:
- Kylie's colour commentary on the
night. The highlight being when she called the ladies' attention to the
good looking guys in the final heat of the 50 Fly. While I'm sure he’d
deny it, that ego boost almost certainly helped Neil in breaking the 29
second barrier.
- All the timekeepers including the chief timekeepers Roz and
Robyn. Aside from the State competitions, our carnival is the only one
on the local calendar where timekeepers from other clubs are not
required. This is a great testament to the depth of spirit and
willingness to volunteer within our club.
- The 20 Raffle
prizes. Not only did announcing the winners help us kill time while
getting the relays organised but it meant that pretty much everyone
there either won a prize or got a ride home with someone who did. Great
work Christina & Jen!
- The marshalling efforts of coach
Kevin. After years of yelling at us on deck, he’s arguably one of the
best cat herders in the country. While it wasn’t enough to get John
“Sandbag” Kain to his 50 free on time, it kept the event rolling
smoothly.
- The behind the scenes technical work of Pete and
Brett as well as John for organizing the electronic timing. Without
exception I have never seen results posted as fast as on Saturday
night. In fact I’m pretty sure that somehow the 50 backstroke results
were up before I even got out of the pool!
- Last but not least
the superhuman organizational efforts of Louise, our Meet Director
extraordinaire, and her partner in crime Jen. Both Louise and Jen
devoted hours in the lead up to and on the night ensuring that the
night was the success that it was. Without their efforts the night
would not have happened, let alone been the success that it was.
Thank you again to all involved!
Cheers
Dave Lovelace
