  • Apologies

  • Manchester Open: A report from a novice helper

    I am back. I felt I had to put pen to paper following our Open meet last weekend (19th & 20th May 2007). By 7:30am on Saturday morning, the foyer of Manchester Aquatics was a sea of green. I don't think I have seen so many green shirts in one...
  • The Last Word ... from Gail

    Joe has enlightened us all with his daily diary, which I think sums up the camp perfectly. However, there is no mention of his own attributes. Paparazzi Sonar Joe (ask Wilky about the sonar comment) as he is now known has been our morale booster every...
  • Florida - Day Thirteen

    The flight home was fine, many of us slept through the night and missed the in flight dinner... Oh dear, how sad, never mind! We finally arrived back to an emotional welcome from family and friends. When I got home I just couldn't stop talking about...
  • Florida - Day Twelve

    The last day. A lovely sleep in was has by all. We had breakfast at 0930. The Hotel was not a patch on the one in Fort Myres, but I have to say it probably served the best breakfast of the trip. Myself and Gail had to buy new bags to cater for our purchases...

  • Florida - Day Nine

    Apologies, sorry I am a little late with this installment. I just couldn't muster up the enthusiasm for the computer last night. It was a hangover (not the alcoholic version) from all the exertions on the beach yesterday… these youngsters are very...
  • Florida - Day Eight

    PRs quote of the day "Darn good Coffee" WOW! What a great time we had today, the weather was wonderful after a chilly start. After Morning training we headed off to Denny's Grill Bar for breakfast. I found the menus very confusing. It was...
  • Florida - Day Seven

    Well! It was like swimming with the Ducks this morning (PR ). There was constant rain throughout the session. But when the going gets tough, the tough get going. “In the face of adversity and all that”. I know I keep going on about the good weather coming...
