We are holding a family night in honour of Kaine's selection in the Australian Swim Team competing in Athens.

The theme of the night will be an Olympic theme. Entertainment and dinner is provided in the cost but please bring your own drink. If interested in congratulating Kaine, please see Tina Southwell at point score with numbers before the 17th March.

Presentation Night
Our Presentation night this year will be held at Dapto Pool on the 31st March starting at 6:30 pm. A BBQ is provided but please bring a dessert to share. There is no cost to our financial members and guests. Please fill in and return the attached form to Wendy Dyer before the 17th of March so we can arrange catering.

Annual General Meeting
Dapto Swimming Club's Annual General Meeting will be held on the 9th of May 2000. All club members are urged to attend.

Pool Heating Situation
The inaugural meeting of the pool development working party has met. A situation report was presented which outlined the development process for stage 1 (heating, redevelopment of the pump room and filtration to NSW health standards). The development process will take 14 months. Unfortunately, this means that commencement of Stage 1 will not be until Winter 2001. However this will ensure that all work in Stage 1 will be suitable for Stage 2.

General
Could all perpetual Trophies be returned by the 17th March.

Could all club members please take more care when using the Clubroom. Keeping it clean and tidy is everyone's responsibility.

Congratulations to all swimmers who have made it through to State CHS and PSSA Championships at SIAC in April.
