Munster Senior Schools & Munster SC Championships

Hi all,

We have been requested by Munster Swimming to host the Munster Senior Schools on Sunday and the Munster SC Championships on the weekend of the 4th/5th of November.

This is an opportunity for the club to do some fundraising and run a shop on the above dates.

This can only happen with Volunteers from within the club on those dates.

We would appreciate if we could put a rota in place across the dates for 1/2 hours to manage the shop,which the swimmers will operate.

Can we ask everyone to text back their availability for the above dates.

We would also request that everyone in the Marlin squad from Surname A -G bring in cakes and from H – Z Savouries.

Barracuda Squad:

A-F Cakes

G-Z Savouries.

On both the above.

Much appreciated

On behalf of SWSC.
