22/10/19 Toasty Tuesday thanks to new management

 

Ian and JK have been usurped by a new solo management team. Our great leader Comrade Deanna today single-handedly raised the water temp to a toasty 18.4

 

The crowd were unanimously very happy with the appointment of our Dear Leader

 

Also brought to the ocean by Our Excellency were some whales, slapping their fins and playing just off the coast

 

Under this new reign, all swimmers are equally tough

 

We now have the bluest water in the world. Horizontal visibility was recorded this morning at 150metres.

 

And the brightest sun

 

And the most colourful fish

 

Rich is always happy to give advice to fellow swimmers about their technique and what they can do to improve. He is especially knowledgeable about length of stroke and height of elbow having done theses on these at UNSWim

 

Court and Anna are back for the summer and are pleased at the changes that have taken place recently and look forward to their bright future.

Temp: 18.4

Swimmers: 150?

Newbies: at least 2

 

he Monthly Dinner – 12^th November 2019 – Guest Speaker

 

The Next B&B monthly dinner for the year will be held on Tuesday 12th Novemober at 6.30 pm at Bluewater Restaurant. Our guest on the night will be Allan Sparkes CV, OAM, VA FRSN, who is one of only 5 Australians in the past 44 years to be awarded the Cross of Valour (CV), Australia's highest bravery decoration. Allan will speak about "What is the rarely recognised element of courage and why is it so important today?" Is courage about overcoming fear? willingness to risk your all, an inner strength? perhaps it is about choice, leaving a place of safety to go to a place of danger? But how often do we consider courage is about the willingness to care. In his talk Al Sparkes will touch on the times he has had to be courageous to help others and the times he stopped caring about himself. And what he did to recover his life from the pits of hell.

Please book early for this event as it is sure to be popular. The cost of the dinner is great value at only $25 a head, which includes shared entrees, and a selection of mains to choose from (including a vegetarian option).
