SCOTLAND WILL HOST THE 2014 COMMONWEALTH GAMES
Scots everywhere are celebrating Glasgow winning the right to host the 2014 Commonwealth Games. President of the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF), Michael Fennell, made the historic announcement today 9th November during the CGF General Assembly in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
We are looking for swimmers to join the Mini League team for the coming season and are holding trails :
17th November 2007 at Tollcross Leisure Centre
Warm up at 9am
Start at 9.20am
Swimmers born 1998,1999 and 2000 are eligible to try out.
Email me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with the following information:
Name, DOB, Squad and name of Coach prior to the 17th November 2007
Please note that due to the Masters Meet, there will be no training at Tollcross on the evening of Friday 9th November.
We are looking for more volunteers to come forward to help with running City of Glasgow Swim Team meets.
Ideally we are looking for a number of people with basic computing
skills i.e. email, word processing etc, to learn how to run the Hy-Tek meet
management software.
You do not need to commit a huge amount of time (although if you wish to do so then that would be very welcome!). Even a few hours on the day of a meet would be very useful.
If you wish to get even more involved, you will also have the opportunity to learn how the electronic timing system works, how to actually setup meets, or how to update the website.
Our Masters Meet is coming up in November and it would be a good opportunity to get involved in a low-key meet.
If you are interested and want to know more(with no obligation), please contact any committee member - either in
person or via the contact page on the website.

A number of important decisions have been made by the Management committee regarding how we manage swimmers times and entries to meets.
Previously we had a number of diverse systems which had to be reconciled before meet entries could be produced. These introduced delays and the possibility of errors.
We have now standardised on the Hy-Tek Team Manager system to manage all of our swimmers times and meet entries.
This system provides a consistent database for use by Entry Secretaries, Coaches and our Website.
Unfortunately we do not have much control over the format of the forms which are produced, but they do have all of the necessary information.
During the migration exercise it became clear that a large number of our swimmers are not competing regularly. Some through choice, but others due to a policy of selective squad attendance at meets. This blanket approach causes problems due to the diversity of the levels of ability within squads.
The Management committee agreed that from now on:
This will mainly benefit swimmers who are new to the club, or are moving between squads. But it will also provide the opportunity for swimmers at all levels in the club to compete on a regular basis if they wish to do so. Swimmers who beleive they should have received an entry form, and have not, can discuss this with their coach.
In support of these decisions, a letter will be sent out to all swimmers along with a copy of all the relevant information which is now held in our database. We would like members to check this and advise us of any omissions or mistakes.
