SUNDAY 8 AUGUST

Just as the forecast expected, it never rains on City to Surf day. Thanks to the life members who sponsored the prizes, one of which most appropriately went to life member Keith Blades.

It just wouldn’t feel like a Sunday if we weren’t dolling out cash and prizes to Keith Blades - whether it be for feats of prowess on the bowling green, questionable cheap beer deals, or for the 90 metre. Adrian Booth isn’t a life member yet but let’s hope he is a longer term aspirant. Val and Peter are brimming with smiles as grandparent-hood beckons – we extend our congratulations. Congrats also to Paul Ryan for his Father of the Year nomination.

The Splashers have no money to even pay the butcher, but we’re trying to stay calm about it. Everything hinges upon maintaining the loyal support of the Legion Club so we hope you can make it along this Friday to drum up their sponsorship. Col will be there.

SUNDAY 19 SEPTEMBER

At Saturday’s WSAA Meeting we have to submit our entries for the National Championships this year. If you want to be considered for a swim on 19 September, please write back to us with your name and date of birth. There will also be a small window of opportunity to submit your nomination in person on Sunday. Could you also let us know if you plan to attend the post swim function as we need to buy lots of dinner tickets that we probably won’t use.

Entries for the 19 September at Botany Pool are now being taken and close shortly.  

Please advise by email (or be prepared to advise on Sunday) if any of the following applies to you

1. You wish to attend the Dash for cash social function at Icebergs on Saturday 18 September

2. You wish to participate in the National Titles at Botany on Sunday 19 September (include NAME, DOB and AGE as at 19 September)

3. You wish to attend the post National Titles Social Function on Sunday 19 September.

EASTERN SUBURBS LEGION CLUB FRIDAY 13 AUGUST

The Eastern Suburbs Legion Club has always been the venue of choice for the Bronte Splashers. We don’t go there looking for cutting edge décor, glamorous clientele, or sycophantic service, for we know these qualities are hollow, fleeting and unrewarding! Instead, what we look for and what we always find at the Legion Club, is an inspired dose of optimism and a fulfilling sense of camaraderie, fun and light heartedness that lock in one’s sense of being part and parcel of a vibrant, giving and worthwhile community. All this plus daring dance floor manoeuvres! The thrilling highs of the meat tray game of chance! Fast paced social commentary!

You can see why the Splashers choose to hang their hats there, and why, next Friday 13 August, the Splashers will be meeting to hold up and bar there, raise our flagging Legion Club profile, and drive the Splashers finances further into the red. See you there.

SUNDAY 8 AUGUST

Life Member’s Day! Keith Blades has been busy collating the prizes for this Sunday so whether you are running the City to Surf or not, we look forward to seeing you in the park for presentation, and of course, at the pool if being jammed intoWilliam and College Streets with the masses doesn’t take your fancy.

SUNDAY 22 AUGUST

Still waiting for a Splasher to put their hand up to host Don’s Party on the 21st, but on the 22nd, win lose or draw, the Splashers will be celebrating in the park with Richardson and Wrench GALA DAY where elite teams from across the Eastern Suburbs make their way to our much loved pool for some serious in your face take no prisoners hold no regrets no time for caps or goggles or talking on the blocks aggressive swimming.
