Get your membership registration completed!
Most of you have already renewed / signed up for your membership for the year at North Sydney. After January 31, if we do not have a record of you having paid your fees, you will be asked not to swim with the club until your membership is up-to-date. We must be strict on this as our insurance coverage is linked to your membership and you are not covered unless signed up. Please refer to the email sent on January 19 from Jen Langoons to see the list of current paid members. If your name is not on that list, please renew now. If you have any problems (e.g. no credit card or paid, but not the list), please contact Jen directly to sort yourself out.
 
Please plan to stay after our training session on Wednesday (Jan 25) to partake in some pizza (on the club) and enjoy some socialization with your fellow club members outside the pool. We’d like to take this time to also encourage you to sign up to participate in our upcoming North Sydney carnival and/or volunteer to help out on Feb 11. For those that are unfamiliar with what our carnival is all about can check out the program at:
If you are unable to join us on Wednesday, you can still enter – talk to Grant Parr on Monday Jan 23 or enter on-line by clicking on the ‘Enter’ button next to the North Sydney carnival at this link:
Cost of entry is only $20 – cheaper than any ocean swim on the circuit! Please refer to previous emails from Alan Godfrey for BSB details to pay and/or pay cash on deck to Grant Parr on Monday or Louise Laing on Wednesday.
Any other questions, just approach a fellow committee member and/or email me your questions.
