Bag Packing - Thank you
To all
I just wanted to thank those members who helped at the ASDA bag packing day at the end of last year. Your time was much appreciated and it was a brilliant effort by all. Over the 2 sessions we raised a total of £562.72. A special thanks to all the parents and coaches who supported the 2 sessions and to the parents who were able to get their children to attend given the very busy time of year.
I appreciate your support.
Many thanks

Looking to help Team Luton?
Written by Paul Adams
Sunday, 13 March 2011 09:17
Team Luton relies on volunteers to make sure the club runs efficiently and safely, in accordance with the Club Mark and Swim21 standards set by the ASA. Do you have an hour or two a week to spare to help out with various tasks needed to keep the club running? Perhaps you are bored with sitting in the specators' area but not sure who to approach about helping out?
Team Luton would love to hear from you if you feel you can help the club. Current roles and tasks the club would welcome some help with are::
Health and safety : Ideally someone who has experience of reviewing and writing risk assessments and understands the concept of an effective safety culture.
Public relations : We are particularly looking for people who can assist with writing reports on club successes for local papers.
Neither roles require attendance at the monthly club committee meetings and committee members would endeavour to provide help and support where they can.. Further information about the roles or for more general information about helping the club, please contact the Chairperson (Glenda Mayes) or John Hogan (Parent Liaison Officer) for an informal chat.
