		<description><![CDATA[During the open water swimming season, we will be keeping you informed of how we are catering for the increased popularity of our Club and sport.

Our first taster session of 2013 on 7 May went well with thanks to Gerry, Jan and Mark. We had 36 swimmers in the water including 13 tasters so it can be a little hectic! 

This year our membership is likely to exceed 100. So we want to spread our volunteers' workload whilst ensuring enough people are available to assist on Tuesday club nights, particularly when we are running taster sessions.]]></description>

This will be our fourth event in Studland Bay and competitors and volunteers have a really enjoyable day. The event finishes around lunchtime and so the afternoon will be yours to spend on the beach, in the sea or however else you fancy.
 
If you are a club member named on the list, or not and you or a friend / relative would like to help on the day, then please email Jan (<a href="mailto:janishep@hotmail.co.uk">janishep@hotmail.co.uk</a>) to confirm your availability to help us run the event.]]></description>
