Louth Swimming Club recent held their Club Championships Presentatation Night at the Town Hall, Louth. A capacity crowd once again filled the ballroom and a fantastic night was had by all.
Head Coach Kate Thompson and Membership Secretary Catherine Billington did a stunning job with the logistics involved in organising an event of this magnitude, surrounded of course by the team of Coaches/Officials and poolside assistants.
Club Chairman Bob Wells compared the evening, and thanked all the poolside team for their passion and commitment also the tireless committee and everyone involved in the clubs continued progression.
This year events produced a staggering amount of Personal Best Times and new or improved County Qualifying Times a fabulous achievement by all the swimmers.
The evening’s events (Organised by Louise Jeanes & her Fundraising team) started off with food – roasts of Beef, Pork & Turkey with sausage & stuffing, vegetarian options, salads and of course the puddings, then the presentations, followed by fundraising raffle draw, auction culminating in the popular disco.
The evening ran like clockwork leaving ample time for everyone to let off steam on the dance floor. Kate Thompson, Charlotte Elliott-Wright and Tracy Robinson made the presentations run like clockwork all done with 1 minute to spare.
Grateful thanks to Gary Spencer europa industries of Louth for their continued support as our main sponsor and, Libertas, Caravan Electrical Services Ltd, Automate and Universal Highways for sponsoring a table; nice touch Darren Phillips providing the balloons for each table.
