Thank you everyone!
A massive thank you to everyone for helping to make the RSC SC Meet last Sunday a huge success! There are too many to thank individually and we don't want to miss anyone!
We had parents, swimmers, grandparents and family friends all chip in to help with everything from timekeeping, handing out medals, catering, announcing, check starting and marshalling, to preparing brekkie sandwiches and sausages and manning the raffle table! We had families who donated eskis and parents who secured donations of sausages and eskis - thank you!
We had 2 wonderful moms, Kay and Nicola, volunteer as Team Managers for the huge morning session. It is amazing that our members are willing to give their time and help RSC put on an event of this size. The officials in attendance as well as visiting clubs, all commented on what a well run meet it was. This is what will keep swimmers coming back to RSC meets in the future, so well done to everyone who helped out.
A big shout out to our Competitions Officer, Miek, and Lachlan W for ensuring the meet ran as smooth as it did. Miek is one of the most organized people we know and we're lucky to have him on board team RSC!
Another big thank you goes to Jackie and Nicole for coordinating all the raffle prizes, lucky envelopes and other fundraising efforts. RSC raised just over $3k over the course of the day which is double what was raised at our last meet. Thank you ladies! This money goes straight back into the club and assists in keeping costs for things like interstate trips as low as possible for our families.
A special shout out to Sean, for his fun, enthusiastic and clear announcements on the day. Also, to Brett & Chris, our chief timekeepers. Ensuring we always had timekeepers was a massive effort, and your efforts ensured the meet ran on time, and smoothly. Cheryl, Karen, Marita, Cherie, Tanya and Peter did an amazing job with marshalling and check starting - we're sure you got a week's worth of steps in over the course of the day!
Preparing and serving the most delicious brekkie sandwiches and sausages were Jon, Vincent, Vijay, Joel, Brett O and Shu - thank you all for manning the BBQ!
Thank you Jess for catering the entire day and ensuring our officials, volunteers and timekeepers were well fed at all times.
Marita, Selina & Vivian on the medals table- thank you for staying so calm and handling the craziness of the medals table!
We had many of our senior and junior swimmers help out during the day at the raffle table when they were not swimming. Thank you to Luca A, Jayden K, Callum K, Thomas O, Jayden Z.
A big thank you to Nicole and Rebecca for capturing different aspects of the meet on camera and promoting RSC on our social media pages.
To our wonderful coaches Andrew and Brendan- thank you for being there all day to encourage and support our swimmers. We had some great swims, and your enthusiasm and encouragement made such a difference!
If you weren't able to attend on Sunday, make sure to save the date of our next big meet in your calendar! The RSC Long Course meet is on Sunday, Oct 27th at Aquanation. We will again have a BBQ, and raffle. If you can assist with gathering donations, please contact admin@ringwoodswimmingclub.org.au
