DCA Autumn Meet- 24th& 25th October
Hi everyone, ahead of our upcoming gala next month we would like to put out a request for a few things please.
VOLUNTEERS
If anyone who is not STO trained and can commit to a session, AM/PM on either day to help the fundraising team on tables on the balcony then please contact Lynsey Coupland or Lesley Anderson on [email protected]
You will see the gala through out the sessions as the tables are set up with a view of the pool. This will be to deal with entry wrist bands/ preloved kit/merchandise/raffle/ tombola and other fundraising activities. Please get in touch if you can help as most of our fundraising team will be committed to vital STO roles throughout the weekend.
DONATIONS
If anyone can donate to the raffle/tombola/pre loved kit etc that would be amazing 🙏 please hand this to coaches or club volunteers in the coming weeks, thank you
SPONSORSHIP FOR SKINS EVENT
If any of our members have/ are part of or know a business who might consider sponsoring our Autumn Meet Skins event then please contact Zara our club secretary on [email protected]
This event is an exciting, elimination-style sprint tournament where the fastest swimmers from previous events compete in consecutive, back-to-back knockout rounds. 4 events take place at the end of each day with prize money awarded to the top 3 for each race (1st-£50, 2nd-£30, 3rd-£20) . So in total for all 8 event this costs the club £800 for which we try to seek sponsorship for.
In return we will promote the sponsor throughout the weekend at the gala with announcements/advertisement including posters and promotion on our page and WhatsApp community. We would also encourage our sponsor to attend the event and present the prize money to the winners. If this is something you or someone you know can help with then please get in touch🙏
