Sessions NOT going ahead :-
Wed 28th & Thursday 29th July

See you all there
Dear All,
Good news - we can restart our club sessions at the school pool on Wednesday 9th June and Thursday 10th June at the usual time of 7.30-9pm.
Here are a few guidelines:-
You must not attend if you have any symptoms of COVID-19, a fever, a new continuous cough, or a change or loss in sense of smell or taste.
There will not be a booking system but please register before going in the pool, swim fees left will be shown by your name.
Do not enter the building until 7.30pm (If possible arrive changed to reduce numbers in the changing rooms) showers are available.
Bring your own kit, there will be no floats etc. available from the boiler room.
All lanes will operate in a clockwise direction and please adhere to the 2m rule at the end of the pool.
You must wear a mask in the building but not necessary on poolside (or in the water!)
Please remember you may not turn up and swim if you haven’t paid club membership and swim England fees for 2021. (New members will need to fill out the 2021 membership form and pay the appropriate fees into the bank before coming to a session)
Lastly, the gate code is unique to the Masters and operates 15 mins before and after our allotted time and will be made known to members via email. Please DO NOT share it with anyone else. Also make sure you enter the # key before the gate code number
Looking forward to seeing everyone again soon,
Best Wishes
CHESC committee
Next weekend would have been Gerry’s 95th Birthday (if we’ve done our maths right!) So to mark the occasion, on Wednesday during our usual 7:30pm “training session” chat we will be raising a glass of Merlot, Whiskey & Dry Ginger, Guinness or anything else you’d prefer in honour of the great man.
We’d also like to get as many of you that don’t normally join in to “come to the party” and reminisce the old times....

Unfortunately due to the latest COVID situation, the school has informed us that there are now no plans to resume external lettings (pool hire) until at least 4th January 2021. So no training at CH Pool at least until then.
In "better" news, Swim England have frozen their membership rates for 2021.... Whoopee!
It looks like we could be back in the pool the first week in November.
The school has indicated that subject to no more COVID-19 issues after the school goes back that they plan to open for outside lettings after 1/2 term. Fingers-crossed!
Watch this space....
As the National Masters in Sheffield in October has long been cancelled we will miss our well earned weekend away. So we thought we might have the weekend away anyway....!
So a number of us have booked The Premier Inn, Shrewsbury (it’s closer!) for the same weekend (23rd-25th October) so we can do the usual JDW on Friday, meal on Saturday but without the pressure of having to do the swimming
If you’d like to join us for the cultural experience (piss-up!) you’d be very welcome (all within easy walk of the train station with direct trains from B’ham) Premier Inn currently available for £64 for the two nights!
22nd August 2020
All sessions CANCELLED until further notice
Important notice for all CHESC masters
swimming Wed/Thursday this week (18/19March)
1) Please make sure you are fit and healthy to
