There was more than 60 people from the swimming club involved throughout the day, and this was managed in a shift system. With people "donating" a couple of hours at a time. The club started setting up for the event at 8am and by 8.30am a queue of cars had started to form, so the car wash opened 1/2 hour earlier than planned!
There was a steady stream of cars all day, even through the showers, & the team sprirt from the club members was superb! Over £240 was raised, and at £3 per car, this was excellent value for money.
Bramcote Swimming Club would like to thank Bramcote Leisure Centre for their support in making all this possible.
Due to the success of this fund-raiser, a second car wash is being organised in July (date to be decided).
The swimming club is planning a twinning trip to Gutersloh, Germany, and will involve members of all ages from our younger junior swimmers through to our older Masters swimmers, and will be taking place in August.
The club has been given morning and evening training times at the local swimming pool, and they will be competing in a specially organised "Celebration Gala" with the local swim clubs from in and around Gutersloh.
A visit to the Town Hall and Civic Reception is also on the agenda as well as some fun day out trips for everyone. The organising committee have met with such kindness and generosity from the twinning committee in Gutersloh that they hope that Bramcote SC may be able to host a similar reciprocal visit for our new German friends.
