Badge night - the results.

Hi Guys, I said I would try and get back to you with news on my son and brother- here goes.....

My brother, well, what can I say, he made my mother proud and joined her and dad in Rochdale for mothers day weekend!

My son- made me proud! He swam 28 lengths and to achieve certificate needed 24 lengths. In the evening a further six children managed to gain certificates.

I was really pleased with all of the children's achievements. We have previously had presentation evenings which have worked really well. In those we ask for parents/ carers to provide food- not to different from kids parties in school. It has worked as a real morale booster...

Unfortunately that same Friday I was given the news that the clubs funds are becoming an issue and the children may need to pay more. For me that is not an issue as I only have one child. For families of 2+ children there is no discount for the amount of children you pay for. The founders of the club are very disappointed as they always have put the children first.

The question that is going round in my head is....

How can the club promote themselves to increase the amount of children that use it?

Answers on a postcard please! (just joking, but on a serious note if anyone is reading the blog and has similar experiences please get in contact).

Will see what this Friday brings, some good news I hope and maybe my sons certificate. xx
