Night Czar makes a visit
Mayor of London’s Night Czar,
Amy Lamé, checked out the
borough’s night time economy
London’s Night Czar, Amy Lamé,
paid a visit to Waltham Forest on
Friday 10 March, where she met
some of the borough’s creative
business owners and saw
the area’s growing night time
economy in action.
During the visit Amy held a special
‘night surgery’ at the Mirth, Marvel
and Maud arts venue (186 Hoe
Street, E17 4QH) in Walthamstow,
where she was joined by Cllr
Clare Coghill, Cabinet Member for
Economic Growth and High Streets.
The surgery was an opportunity
for local people to talk about their
experiences of living and working in
the capital at night.
Commenting on her visit, Amy
said: “I had a fascinating time
meeting local residents and
business owners during my night
surgery in Waltham Forest, and
hearing what they want from the
capital at night. As one of London’s
fastest growing boroughs, it was
really exciting to hear Cllr Clare
Coghill talk about the plans to grow
night time culture in Waltham Forest.
I’m delighted that the Council is
making the night time economy a
priority in its future planning.”
Cllr Coghill said: “It was fantastic
to have a visit from Amy and give
her a small sample of what Waltham
Forest has to offer. We have a fast
growing night time economy in the
borough, and with the introduction
of the Night Tube more and more
people are choosing to come here
as an evening destination due to the
range of options we have available.
We’re continuing to support our
town centres and support local
businesses that want to set up
home here.”
Andrew Birkby, Director and CoFounder of Wild Card Brewery, said:
“It was such a great opportunity
to meet Amy Lamé. As a small,
independent business it’s brilliant
to be on the radar of the driving
force behind the London nightlife
economy. And it is great to see
Waltham Forest Council making
this such a priority, and recognising
its important cultural role within the
borough.”
Andrew Birkby, Tash Chambers and Dave Smith from Wild Card Brewery met Cllr Clare
Coghill and Night Czar, Amy Lamé, as part of a ‘night surgery’ in Walthamstow

More affordable homes
n 45 affordable apartments being
built on former Council office site
n Homes will be prioritised for those
who live or work in the borough
Construction work is underway
on 45 new affordable
apartments on Gainsford Road
in Walthamstow, as part of an
innovative partnership between
the Council and home builder
Pocket.
Cllr Khevyn Limbajee, Cabinet
Member for Housing, said:
“Supporting affordable housing for
everyone’s needs is one of our top
priorities, and as part of this we
have reviewed our own building
stock to identify which sites could
potentially be developed to provide
much-needed new homes.”
The 45 one bedroom homes are
being built on the site of former
Council offices, and will be prioritised

In my opinion
This year we celebrate the
10th Leytonstone Arts Trail.
This is a real achievement,
given that everyone involved
gives their time for free and the
entire event is organised by
volunteers.
We all work on the trail for a
number of reasons; for me it is as
much about an interest in the arts
and supporting artists, as well as
an interest in community. London
has plenty to offer, but for many
people a trip into the centre of
town involves expense, time and
energy. We want our local areas to
be vibrant and engaging, so that
we don’t always have to travel to
Hilary Douse
get our dose of culture. The Arts
need to be accessible to all, and a
big gallery can be an intimidating
place for some people. But the local
arts scene in E11 makes it a place
I want to spend my time.
This year the trail will take place
between Saturday 1 and Sunday 9
July. If you would like to exhibit your
work, we ask you to get in touch
with us by Sunday 9 April.
The Leytonstone Arts Trail
was initially supported by the
very established Leytonstone
Festival. These annual events
are now collectively known as
#LeytonstoneJuly and have

all that is good about the area.
Venues showcase what they
have to offer and community arts
groups have a platform from which
to perform and promote. These
festivals bring people together and
create a unique spirit of community.
One of the people involved
in the organising group once
commented that “everyone she
knew in Leytonstone was because
of the arts trail”. I think that shows
the power of becoming involved;
London can be a lonely place if you
don’t take those opportunities.
The Leytonstone Arts Trail,
as a grass roots organisation,
has been the catalyst for many
other developments. The Stone
Space (Church Lane, E11 1HG)
was offered to the organisers
by our local councillors as a
home for exhibitions year-round
and for five years a dedicated
group of volunteers have kept
that gallery going. The artists
networking group, Creative Bloc,
also developed as a result of the
contacts made by the Leytonstone
Arts Trail. It is important to keep the
grassroots alive, people have had
their first exhibitions with the Arts
Trail and have blossomed as artists
based on that experience.
If you would like to exhibit your
work in the Leytonstone Arts Trail
2017, find your venue and register

£1.35million cultural
funding secured
Walthamstow is set to receive
£1.35million funding to deliver a
series of cultural and heritage
projects that will provide long
lasting benefits for residents
across Waltham Forest,
and attract visitors keen to
experience what the borough
has to offer.
The Great Place Scheme is
designed to put arts, culture
and heritage at the heart of
communities across England. It will
be used to fund projects in areas
where there is a commitment to
embed arts, culture and heritage in
local plans and decision-making.
The scheme is managed by Arts
Council England, Heritage Lottery
Fund and Historic England.
Waltham Forest is one of just 16
places across the country chosen
to receive funding from the scheme.
Council Leader, Chris Robbins,
told Waltham Forest News: “We
are absolutely delighted that
Walthamstow has been chosen to
be part of the Great Place Scheme,
and we look forward to working
with our partners to deliver a unique
cultural and learning programme
that will provide far-reaching
benefits for the whole borough.
“Being part of this scheme
will enable us to provide more
opportunities for people to
experience and be inspired by arts,
heritage and culture, and ensure
that culture is embedded at the
heart of everything we do.”
The funding secured for Waltham
Forest will be used to deliver
a programme called ‘Creative
Connections – Culture for All’.
Activities planned as part of the
programme include a new Festival
of Creativity for the St James
Street area, a heritage-inspired
adventure learning programme for
1,000 children and a new project
focusing on the William Morris
Gallery archives. The programme
will also create a range of skills
and employment opportunities
for residents, including 150
volunteering programmes and eight
new apprenticeships.

Apprentices take the stage
Apprentices Shaan Singh, Brian Claydon and Sasha Hudson joined
Cllr Clare Coghill to speak to pupils at Rushcroft Foundation School
Three Waltham Forest
apprentices took to the stage at
Rushcroft Foundation School in
Chingford (Rushcroft Road, E4
8SG) earlier this month to share
their experiences and answer
questions from pupils on the
benefits of an apprenticeship.
The event took place during
National Apprenticeship Week
(6 to 10 March), during which
the Council launched its plan to
support young people to gain the
skills and experience they need to
set them on a successful career
path.
The Council is developing a
talent pool which will help to match
young people in the borough
with suitable apprenticeship
opportunities, and ensure they
receive the training and support
they need to succeed. The Council
also wants to support 50 young
people into new apprenticeship
positions by summer 2017, across
a wide range of industry sectors
including teaching, IT, childcare,
accountancy, health and social
care.
Cllr Clare Coghill, Cabinet
Member for Economic Growth and
High Streets, said: “We have some
incredibly talented young people in
Waltham Forest. We want to do all
we can to help them develop the
skills they need so they can make
the most of the growing number of
employment opportunities available
across the borough.
“We know that apprenticeships
were once perceived as a ‘last
resort’ for young people, but this
is definitely no longer the case.
Apprenticeships are now becoming
a genuine preferred option for
motivated young adults who want
to get on in life and further their
career. Many of those who have
achieved their apprenticeship
go onto full time employment,
while others may go on to higher
education.”
Speakers at the Rushcroft
Foundation School event included
19-year-old Sasha Hudson, a
former Rushcroft student who is
now an apprentice in the Council’s
Business Administration team.
“My apprenticeship has opened
doors for me, and I’m seen as
a valued team member, not just
a student,” Sasha told Waltham
Forest News. “I’ve supported
Council-wide events and even
got to meet the Mayor of London,
Sadiq Khan. My family see me as
a role model, my brother has now
started an apprenticeship and my
cousins want to do one too!”

Chestnuts
House
Walthamstow’s 18th century Grade II*
listed Chestnuts House will be brought
back into community use after Waltham
Forest Council secured grant funding
from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF).
Nearly £80,000 has been secured for
a project to explore a range of options
to revitalise the building in Hoe Street.
The project will establish the building
as a historic and heritage asset for
the borough, assess its current state
and explore ways to secure its future.
Chestnuts House is one of the finest
examples of Georgian architecture in
Waltham Forest. Over the years it has
been utilised as a private house, hospital
and training centre. The building will
require a major programme of repairs
to bring it back to beneficial use. The
project will also investigate ways that
Chestnuts House could be utilised as an
asset for the local community, and the
Council will welcome suggestions on
how it could be put to best use. Cllr Clare
Coghill, Cabinet Member for Economic
Growth and High Streets, told Waltham
Forest News: “I’m absolutely thrilled
that we have secured a grant from the
Heritage Lottery Fund that will allow
us to start work on bringing one of the
borough’s finest heritage assets back
into use.” Stuart Hobley, Head of HLF
London, added: “We’re delighted that
money raised by National Lottery players
can enable Waltham Forest Council to
explore how to bring new life to this local
landmark.”

Priorities
Keeping our young people happy
Waltham Forest Council wants everyone living and working in the borough to enjoy a good
quality of life. Ensuring our children and young people get the best start in life is crucial to
achieving this goal
Pupils from 24 local schools took part in a Feel Good
Young Ambassadors training event earlier this month
The online Waltham Forest Directory gives advice and
information for families
As every parent, guardian or
carer will agree, we all want
the best in life for our children,
and Waltham Forest Council
is working hard to support our
young people to help them lead
healthy, active lives filled with
opportunities to reach their full
potential.
The Council offers a huge range
of year-round cultural activities,
school holiday play schemes and
sports sessions for children of all
ages, and a new online directory
of family-related services is helping
residents find all the information they
need at the touch of a button.
We’re also encouraging children
to make healthier food choices
and understand the importance of
activity and exercise to help instil
good habits at the earliest possible
opportunity.
Feel Good Young
Ambassadors
Three hundred local primary
school pupils will be spreading the
word about how to eat healthily and
stay active after officially becoming
Waltham Forest’s first Feel Good
Young Ambassadors.
The youngsters, who represent 24
schools based across the borough,
gathered at the Waltham Forest
Feel Good Centre (170 Chingford
Road, E17 5AA) on Friday 10 March
to take part in three special training
sessions organised by Waltham
Forest Council and Waltham Forest
School Sport Network.
One session focused on eating
well and making healthy packed
lunches, another looked at how to
arrange new activities, challenges
and competitions within schools,
and the third covered how to
promote activities on offer in
Waltham Forest – and what it takes
to be a role model in their school.
After completing all three
sessions, pupils were awarded a
Feel Good Young Ambassador
pin badge to wear on their school
uniform. They will now take what
they have learned back to their
respective schools and encourage
their classmates to lead as healthy a
lifestyle as possible.
It was the first event of its kind in
Waltham Forest, bringing together
the Council’s Feel Good campaign,
the Healthy Schools London
programme, the NHS Change 4
Life initiative, the Youth Sport Trust’s
Young Ambassador programme and
Waltham Forest’s School Games
scheme.

and abilities. Photo by Timothy Kraemer
Ruth Mahamoodally, a 10-yearold pupil at Woodside Primary
Academy in Walthamstow, told
Waltham Forest News: “Being an
ambassador is good because when
I go back to school I’m persuading
other children to become healthier
and fitter. And if you like to do
PE then you can persuade other
children to become like you and
become good in things like athletics
and cricket and many more
activities.”

Waltham Forest Music
Service
Young people can learn to hit the
right note from an early age as the
Waltham Forest Music Service offers
a wide variety of opportunities for
them to pick up and play a musical
instrument – whether they’re starting
out or looking to improve their skills.
The service runs a thriving
Music School at the end of the
normal school day, with a range of
instrumental and vocal ensembles
for children and young people
of all abilities. You can also hire
instruments at an affordable price,
with prices as low as £10 per
school term.
If your child is learning a string
instrument, the music service is
looking for violin, viola, cello and
double bass players to join one of
three new string ensembles and
have the opportunity to play with
musicians from the world-famous
London Symphony Orchestra.
There are groups suitable for all
abilities, and all sessions take place
at Waltham Forest Music Service
(12 Church Hill, E17 3AG).
The Woodlands Strings group is
suitable for beginners to grade one
and meets every Thursday, 4.155.15pm, while the Saturday Strings
group is suitable for grades one to
three and meets every Saturday,
9.15-10.15am. Finally, the Forest
Strings group is suitable for players
at grade three and above, and
meets on Thursdays, 5.30-6.30pm.

What you say
Residents tell Waltham Forest News what they think about the Council’s efforts to provide
children and families with a range of support services and activities suitable for all ages
Emma Mistry, Leyton
Jola Blaszkiewicz, Leytonstone
Mariana Ivanova, Leytonstone
“We use both the Leyton and
Leytonstone Children and Family
Centre Hubs. My son loves the
music and movement classes for
babies and toddlers, we’ve also
seen the dentist there and I know
there are sessions about health and
nutrition, as well. There are loads of
activities going on for children, most
of them only cost a few pounds and
they provide nice social opportunities
for parents. I think it’s great, I’m really
happy.”
“I think there is a lot to do in the area
if you have children, and providing
activities like free swimming is a great
idea. My son is at nursery in the
mornings and we enjoy coming to
the play areas in the afternoon, so it
always feels like there’s something to
do. It would be a big help to parents
if there was more free childcare
provision, and I’m very interested in
finding out more about the healthy
eating sessions, they sound very
helpful.”
“It’s good to have free activities for
children, it’s a big help for us parents.
We go swimming at Leytonstone
Leisure Centre and we love using
the local play areas. The children are
happy outside when it’s nice, but
when it’s rainy it’s difficult to keep
them occupied. So I’d like to see
more indoor soft play because my
daughter loves it and there isn’t one
close to where we live.”
Our core duty is to
keep vulnerable adults
and children safe and
healthy, ensuring
that they have dignity
and choice in their
lives. This crosses all
responsibilities and
services.

“I don’t have children, but I work at
the Church Lane Community Garden
on Wednesdays and Saturdays and
parents and teachers often ask us
to run sessions with young people.
It’s encouraging to see them taking
an interest in growing food and
nature. Some people say groups of
teenagers hang around being antisocial, but don’t think they’re causing
trouble. It’s good to allow young
people the freedom to move around
their neighbourhood.”

Fake badge
prosecution
A man was handed a suspended prison
sentence after being prosecuted by the
Council’s Trading Standards team for
possessing a number of counterfeit car
wheel badges that were intended for sale
online. The badges featured the logos of
a number of car brands including BMW,
Ford, Volkswagen and Jaguar. Mr Jie Wu,
of Commonwealth Drive, Crawley was
charged with five offences under the Trade
Marks Act 1994 after a bag containing
counterfeit wheel badges were found in
a house in Leyton in September 2014. He
appeared at Snaresbrook Crown Court
on 28 February 2017, where he pleaded
guilty on all five counts.

Cllr Loakes is calling on residents to recycle as much household
waste as possible
Tracking down the
‘unusual suspects’
n Residents urged to make sure they are recycling as much as they can
n New videos show which unusual household items can be recycled
Waltham Forest residents are
being urged to turn detective
in their homes in order to track
down the ‘unusual suspects’
– the household items that
somehow manage to give the
recycling bin the slip.
Most of us now consider it to be
a daily routine to recycle everyday
household items such as plastic
drink bottles, food and drink
cans, jam jars and newspapers.
However, there are also a number
of everyday items that can be
recycled which you may not be
aware of, such as toothpaste
boxes, chocolate tins and
aftershave and perfume bottles.
To help residents identify the
unusual suspects the Council
has produced some short videos
with Cllr Clyde Loakes, Deputy
Leader and Cabinet Member for
Environment, showing which items
can be recycled around the home.
“It’s up to all of us to ensure
we are recycling as much as
we possibly can,” explained Cllr
Loakes. “If we all took the time to
recycle just one more thing around
the home it would make a huge
difference.”
You can hunt down the unusual
suspects in every room in the
home. In the kitchen it might be
milk cartons, wine bottles and
food wrap tubes; in the bathroom
it could be empty shampoo and
shower gel bottles, and in the
bedroom you might find glass
beauty cream pots and deodorant
cans. All of these items can be
recycled in your green bin.
If you’re not sure whether an
item can be recycled, or you think
you’re already recycling everything
you can, check out the handy A-Z
of waste and recycling items on the
Council website.
“We are committed to making
it as easy and simple as possible
for residents to recycle as much
possible,” added Cllr Loakes. “We
operate a simple three-bin kerbside
collection system and are unique
in London in offering residents
unlimited free large-item collections,
as well as continuing to fund three
household waste and recycling
centres in the borough.”
The free large item collections
are perfect for getting rid of
unwanted items that are too big for
your kerbside collection. You can
have up to five items collected at
a time, and it’s easy to book online
using your My Account service on
the Council website.
You can also add more items to
your free collection up to 24 hours
beforehand (as long as your free
collection does not exceed five
items), and change or cancel your
collection date if you need to, all via
the Council website.

suspects follow the Council

Recycling facts
n If everyone in the UK recycled one toothpaste box, it would
save enough energy to run a fridge in 2,000 homes for a year.
n Recycling just one drink can could save enough energy to
power a TV for four hours.
n If everyone in the UK recycled one aerosol can, enough energy
would be saved to run a TV in 151,000 homes for a year.
n If one aluminium can was recycled by everyone in the UK,
we’d save enough energy to vacuum over 876,000 homes for
a year.

EVERY STREET CLEANED AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK
Car safety outside school
7
In brief
n Davies Lane Primary asked pupils to create a safe driving poster
n Schools encouraged to promote safer, more sustainable journeys
Winning pupil Salma Saibi shows her poster to
Mayor of Waltham Forest, Cllr Peter Herrington
Pupils at Davies Lane Primary
School in Leytonstone (Davies
Lane, E11 3DD) recently held a
competition to create a poster
which will encourage parents to
drive and park safely outside the
school.
The competition was an ideal way
for children to show their creativity
while promoting an important
message about safer parking and
driving outside schools. Some
fantastic entries were received, and
the Mayor of Waltham Forest, Cllr
Peter Herrington, attended a special
assembly at the school earlier this
month to present certificates and
goodie bags to the creators of the
best entries.
The overall winning poster was
designed by Salma Saibi. The
Council’s highways contractor Riney
will be turning her design into two
large signs which will be displayed
outside the school.
Selina Stevens from Davies
Lane Primary said: “The aim of the
competition was to support the
travel plan and encourage more
opportunities for families to walk
and cycle to school. The entries
were sent off to a travel plan team,
made up of teachers and parents,
and after careful deliberation a
winner was chosen. We hope these
banners outside of the school will
help encourage safer driving around
the local area.”
Davies Lane Primary is one of 17
schools in the borough to currently
have a school travel plan in place
– up from just three in the previous
year – with 43 more schools
currently talking to the Council about
introducing them. The scheme gives
accreditation as part of Transport for
London’s STARS initiative, and gives
credit to those proactive schools
which encourage road safety and
support sustainable modes of
transport to and from school.
Cllr Clyde Loakes, Deputy
Leader and Cabinet Member
for Environment, added: “We
encourage all schools in the
borough to have a travel plan in
place to encourage children, parents
and staff to walk, cycle, take public
transport or car share as much as
possible.
“Having a travel plan in place
helps to ease congestion around the
school gates, and makes drop off
and pick up safer and more pleasant
daily events, as well as raising
awareness of the environmental
and health benefits of choosing a
sustainable alternative to travelling
by car. Schools accredited through
the scheme are also eligible for
future funding and projects delivered
by the Council and Transport for
London.”

The PRPL scheme is driving
up property standards
Landlord
licensing
Over 20,000 properties in the borough
are now registered as part of our Private
Rented Property Licensing (PRPL) scheme.
Launched in 2015, the scheme requires
landlords to have a separate licence in
place for each property in the borough
that they rent in the private sector. PRPL
is helping to drive up property standards
in the borough and reduce anti-social
behaviour. Over 50 landlords have been
prosecuted for licence related offences
since the scheme began. A full list of
licensed properties is available to view
on the Council website. Tenants can also
check if their landlord has a licence, and
report any complaints or problems by
getting in touch with the PRPL team.

n Council
unveils another actionpacked programme for families
n Free events and activities
organised for young people
of all ages
If you’re scratching your head
and wondering how you can
keep the kids entertained
during the Easter holidays,
worry no more – because
there’s loads going on as part
of Waltham Forest’s Easter
Holiday Programme.
Free exciting activities are set
to take place across the borough
which you can either enjoy with
your family, or which promise to let
you put your feet up at home while
your teenager gets out and about.
Between Monday 3 and Friday 7
April, the Council has organised a
whole host of dance, sport and art
workshops, as well as things like
circus skills sessions and acting
and performance masterclasses.
Family fun sessions for children
aged five to 11 will provide
opportunities for children and
young people to try new things and
learn new skills, while having fun
and making new friends.
All sessions are led by Waltham
Forest Play Workers, with
specialist workshops provided
by professionals from a variety of
local organisations. Most activities
run for 45 minutes to enable all
children to be able to try everything
on offer during each session, and
allow families to join at any time
throughout the session.
Events include a special Lion
King Workshop, which will see a
member of the West End Show
teach songs and dances from
the show alongside Lion King
themed games and arts and crafts
activities. Sessions will also feature
balloon science, face painting,
animals and a children’s disco.
If your child is a bit older, a
There are lots of fun activities taking place this Easter
range of activities have been
organised for young people aged
11 to 19. They include watersports
and mountain biking activities,
street dance sessions, a comic
book masterclass – and even an
opportunity to try your hand at
angling.
Council Leader, Chris Robbins,
told Waltham Forest News: “As
part of our commitment to helping
families, our Holiday Activity
Programme aims to provide
opportunities for all children, young
people and families to take part in
activities that we hope will enable
hidden talents and interests to be
found.”
The Council knows that the
holidays can be an expensive time
for parents, so it has ensured that
lots of the events on offer are free
of charge.
All activities are inclusive,
however if your child does have
special education needs and
disabilities you can phone the
Council on 020 8496 3000 to
ensure the provider can meet the
needs of your child.
Booking on the programme
is essential, so parents are
advised to book early to avoid
disappointment.

people to report incidents of unwanted
sexual behaviour on London’s public

direct services, campaigning for the
rights of older people and working with
partner organisations.

Members of Leyton Swimming Club competed in a gala in
Ronse, Belgium last year
It’s all going swimmingly!
n Leyton
Swimming Club offers swimming training for all ages
n The club competes in galas both home and abroad
If you’re a keen social swimmer
and want to improve your
technique, shave some seconds
off your best lap or just want
keep fit and healthy, one of
Waltham Forest’s oldest sports
clubs is ready and waiting to
hear from you.
First established in 1911 as
Leyton Water Polo and Swimming
Club, before being renamed in
1930 when water polo’s popularity
apparently waned, Leyton
Swimming Club has more than 100
local members aged between three
and 55.
And the club puts its longevity
down to its friendly approach and
the hard work of everyone involved
in keeping the club running.
Club Vice-Chair, Andy White,
told Waltham Forest News: “We
like to think that we’re one of the
friendliest clubs out there.
“Everyone who helps out;
whether it’s coaching swimmers,
raising money or helping with
administration, does so on a
voluntary basis. Once you’re a
part of the club you just want to
encourage everyone and help them
to do their best.”
To allow for a range of different
ages and abilities the club offers
training on three different days, at
two locations. All sessions are fun,
and focus on improving swimming
technique.
Training sessions for members
of all ages take place at Sylvestrian
Leisure Centre (Forest School,
College Place, E17 3PY) every
Tuesday between 8pm and 9pm,
and on Wednesdays between 8pm
and 9pm for all squads, as well as
occasional ‘learn to swim sessions’
for younger siblings of existing
members.
Then, on Fridays at Leytonstone
Leisure Centre (Cathall Road,
E11 4LA) there’s a 7-8pm session
for under 11s and pre-squad
swimmers, a 8-9pm skills session
for all swimmers to practice starts
and turns, and a 8.30-9.30pm
session for ages 12 and over, older
swimmers and squad swimmers.
Every club member has to
become a member of the Amateur
Swimming Association (ASA),
which costs £40 a year. Your fee
to join Leyton Swimming Club then
depends on how often you swim.
Members who swim once a week
will pay £200 a year, if you swim
twice a week you’ll pay £240 and
three times a week, £280. You can
pay monthly or quarterly.
The good news for those who
are wary of paying a joining fee
is that the club offers up to three
£5 ‘taster’ sessions for you to try
before choosing to become a paidup member.
The club currently competes in
three leagues: Essex League, East
London Mini Leagues and London
Graded League. There are also
opportunities for members to take
part in open galas, which they enter
as an individual through the club.
Club members will also travel to
Ronse in Belgium for a gala taking
place on Saturday 14 and Sunday
15 October. The members will
compete against swimmers from
five other countries.
Andy said: “A large group of
swimmers and coaches head over
to Ronse every year for the gala, it’s
a tradition that started several years
ago and it’s a great opportunity for
members of all ages to experience
the excitement of travelling and
competing in a gala.”
And the great news for
prospective members is that the
club was also awarded Swim 21
accreditation by the ASA earlier
this year. Swim21 is a recognised
quality mark and ensures the
minimum standard is achieved
within clubs to enable them to be
effective, ethical and sustainable.
Andy added: “If anyone is
interested in joining us, you can just
pop down on a Friday night to find
out more. That’s our big club night
with swimmers of all abilities, and
there will always be someone on
the desk to answer your questions
and sign you up for a trial session.
“All we ask is that you can
comfortably swim a length or two
– we normally say that we’re ideal
for people who have already had
lessons and want to get better or
faster.”
