Jan Shepherd has kindly prepared and Gerry Griffin circulated to our club membership a list of duties and volunteers for our Seahorse Swim on Sunday 23 June 2013.

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 (janishep@hotmail.co.uk) to confirm your availability to help us run the event.
