Cake Sale and Raffle at the Grand Prix, Saturday 24th March

Dear Swimmers, parents and guardians,

This Saturday, 24^th March, at the Grand Prix, there will be a cake stall hosted by the swimmers going to the Torremolinos Training Camp in October.  T-Camp Swimmers and parents will be busy baking later this week to sell a delicious array of home baking to hungry swimmers after the Grand Prix.  You will also have the opportunity to buy raffle tickets to win one of 3 gift baskets of chocolate, yum, yum! The cost of a raffle ticket is £1.00 per strip with the winning tickets drawn at the end of the Grand Prix.  We look forward to seeing you on Saturday.

From the T-camp swimmers

 

Ceilidh Evening correction

Hi all,

 

Just noticed the deliberate mistake on the last e-mail regarding the Ceilidh. The evening is of course this Saturday the 25th of February and not next Saturday as previously stated.

 

Apologies and Kind regards,

 

Julie McGregor

Ceilidh and Presentation evening update

Hi Everyone,

 

The Ceilidh and Presentation evening is fast approaching and we thought we would inform everyone of just some of the fantastic raffle prizes available. We have a couple of Prize raffles, which after a lot of hard work, sweat, tears and begging on my husband and I's part, offers some fantastic prizes...

 

We plan on having a £10 prize draw from which you have the opportunity of winning a 32' Flat Screen HD SONY Bravia T.V. Valued at £500, also in this draw there is  a 6 month GYM membership for Stirling Uni, £100 of Slater Men's Wear Vouchers and a Round of Golf for 4 at Dunblane Golf Course. Not all bad for a £10 raffle.

 

There will also be a £1 raffle, which also has some fantastic Prizes linked to it, namely, Sunday lunch for 2 at Nick Nairns restaurant at Tree Tops Hilton Dunblane, a signed Becky Addlington sports hat and picture, a pair of James Goddards Athens 2004 Olympic Truncks, two tickets to Neil Diamond tribute act at the Albert halls (Stirling), Hair cut, blow dry with make up session from LUMIA Bridge of Allan and many, many more fabulous prizes. So please, come along, have a drink, a dance, some nice food and a little flutter on the raffle to win some fantastic prizes, and make it a night to remember and mark in your diary for next year.

 

Looking forward to seeing you all next Saturday, with your dancing shoes on and some cash in your pocket. Remember, you've got to be in it, to win it!!! 

 

Take Care,

 

Kind regards,

 

Julie McGregor.

Hi everyone,

Just a small reminder if you wish to take the opportunity to do some Spring Cleaning, please bring along your filled bin bags and myself and a couple of other parents will be on hand for the duration of the swimming session on Saturday, to take the bags from you. Best regards, Janis

Spring Cleaning opportunity - Cash For Clothes

Dear All,

A team of Silver and Gold swimmers are off to Torremolinos for a week long warm weather training camp.  The team are going to be doing various fund raising activities to raise money towards the cost of the trip.  Cash For Clothes is an opportunity for the team to do some spring cleaning and I would like to offer all swimmers, friends and family of the club the opportunity to spring clean and recycle items you no longer want. All you need to do is bring along filled black plastic bags to the Uni on Saturday, 18^th February. All the bags will be taken along to the Cash for Clothes shop in Cowan Street, Stirling. The bags will be weighed and 50p per kilo will be paid. All the money raised will go towards the training camp.  If you wish to take up the opportunity to clear out your wardrobes, the team will help by taking the filled bags off your hands. Below is a list of items accepted for recycling – please can clothing be dry and clean. Accessories (ex. sunglasses, hair band, umbrellas, baseball hats)

Bags Belts Blouses Dresses Hats, Gloves & Scarves Jackets & Coats Jumpers & Cardigans Knitwear (jumper, tunic, cardigan)

Leggings Nightwear & Sleepwear Polo Shirts Shirts Shoes & Boots (boots, sandals, slippers, trainers) Shorts Skirts Socks & Tights Sports & Loungewear Suits Sweat Tops Swimwear Ties Tops Trousers & Jeans T-shirts & Vest Underwear Wallets & Purses Watches.

Kind regards, Janis

 

 

 

Ceilidh and Presentation evening

Hi everyone,

 

The Ceilidh and Presentation evening on Saturday 25th February at Stirling Rugby Club from 19:00- Midnight, is nearly here. Its a great night to mix and socialise with everyone and to get to know each other in a more relaxed environment. The kids from all squads have a really great night, as do the more senior club members and coaches, receiving presentations for their efforts at the club championships and enjoying a gid auld Ceilidh, with traditional Scottish dancing a touch of modern too, provided by Raise The Roof Ceilidh Band ,Something I hope to suit everyones taste. A lovely Buffet will be provided, and there will be prize draws and Raffles, with some great prizes. So whether you and your family are long standing members of the club or you have just recently joined us? Please! come and join us, for what is always a great evening.

 

Tickets are going fast. So to avoid disappointment you can purchase your tickets from myself (Julie McGregor) by contact at the Uni on Saturday mornings or again at the Uni on Sunday Afternoons from (17:30-19:00.) Alternatively, you can purchase Tickets from me at Stirling High on Tuesday evenings between 19:00-20:00 and again at Stirling High on Thursday evenings between (18:00-19:30) I am aware this will not suit everyone, so I have distributed request slips to all Squads, to be completed and returned to squad reps. They in turn can return them to me and I can then come down to that particular squads session and hopefully distribute the Tickets and collect some funds. I will also make a point of being at different squad sessions on the chance of selling some Tickets. So don't worry, everyone will have the opportunity to purchase Ceilidh Tickets. Oh Yeah, how will you know who I am to purchase Tickets? Don't worry, if you haven't already purchased, I'll be the one pestering you. So bring cash or cheques, just don't miss out, its a great night.

 

Ticket Prices:

 

Adult: £12

Child  £6 (up to age 15)
