On behalf of the Club Committee, I would like to thank you for renewing your East Leeds membership for 2024!
We wanted to take this opportunity to update you on a few Club matters - if you have any questions around any of these, or anything else Club related then please do get in touch.
1. Club Night - our weekly club night continues to be held every Thursday evening at the new time of 8.10-9.10pm at John Charles Aquatics Centre in Leeds. We have been sharing sets in advance of the sessions and swimmers have full use of the starting blocks and training aids. Please do make use of the sessions if you can - funding these is becoming increasingly difficult and the sessions are an essential part of our plans to grow the Club.
2. New website and mobile app - visit our new website to register for the site to RSVP to club events and get involved in chat around all things East Leeds via our ‘Groups’ feature. You can also contribute to our Instagram feed by tagging your posts #swimeastleeds. This is all available via the website or our new mobile app which I encourage you to download to keep yourself up to date with all things East Leeds.
3. Competitive opportunities - we are looking forward to seeing what our members can achieve in the pool and open water during 2024! Check out the Events Calendar on our website and please do RSVP to events you are planning on attending to let others know. We will also use that information to arrange relay teams etc...
4. Survey feedback - thanks to those of you that completed our recent members survey. We received some very helpful feedback and the attached note provides a little more detail including how we are responding to the feedback received.
5. Funding/ sponsorship - the Club Committee is working hard to secure funding and sponsorship opportunities going forward. This is with the intention of providing more training, competition and social events for members. If you are aware of any funding/ sponsorship possibilities then please do let us know!
6. March social - last but not least our next social event is planned for Saturday 23rd March at Roxy Ballrooms, Merrion Street in Leeds. We have booked a space for drinks, pool and shuffleboard and we hope to see you there. More details and RSVP via the event page on our website/ app.
Thank you again for your support in 2024 and if you would like to get in touch with the committee then please drop us a line via hello@eastleedsswimming.club.
