Well done to you all, to think you’ve only been back in the pool 6 days ago, you all did amazing and should be so proud of yourselves.

 

We’ve said it over and over, Doncaster Dartes could not operate without it’s Volunteers. We asked our Chair, Gail, to step away from this Gala so she could focus on the more important things happening in her life at this present moment. This meant we asked for more volunteers than normal as Gail does a mountain of work herself. Our parents, friends and family didn’t fall short with this big ask. We would like to pay a special thanks to all of you that helped support this Gala, Thank You! 

 

A few special mentions:

  • Our raffle display looked nothing short of amazing.
  • The amount of children that came for the day even though they weren't racing was fantastic.
  • Those children who came for the opposite session to what they were swimming was greatly appreciated.
  • Parents who stepped up to be a time keeper, we know this is a tough job, not getting a break from the heat when needed and let’s be honest, it’s quite a monotonous job but you guys smashed it too! Thank you!

 

Finally, we have to pay a special mention to City of Wakefield Swim Club for winning the Top Club Award. Well done Rob and your Team!
