Four Seasons Gala
Four Seasons Gala @ GL1 on Sat 17 Dec
A great night was had by all as our Swim Skills swimmers took part in the Four Seasons Gala at GL1. This is a novice gala and a great opportunity for our younger swimmers to experience a gala in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. It was our turn to host this gala and we were joined by teams from Tewkesbury, Hereford and Cinderford. Soundwell SC also participated as our guests but they could not score any points along with a 2nd team of GCSC swimmers.
There were some great swims on the night with all 4 teams battling it out for each and every point. On top of some great individual events, the GCSC relay teams swam really well together. Biggest PB for the GCSC girls was Sophie Clink (12) in the 50m fly with a 10.41 sec PB and for the boys Alex James (11) in the 50m free with a 7.20 sec PB. Congratulations to you both.
The atmosphere was fantastic with plenty of noise coming from the parents and supporters watching and a definite festive feel to the event.
A nail biting finish with a 2nd place finish for GCSC in the Cannon and the final points were being totalled (thank you Charlotte!). Final points as follows:
- Tewkesbury 130
- Gloucester 117
- Hereford 117
- Cinderford 116
Congratulations to Tewkesbury SC and thanks to Hereford, Cinderford and Soundwell for making it a great evening for all.
There were many people who helped on the night including our 8 Young Volunteers, Tombola sales men (Alex and Matt), officials, chaperones, parent helpers and of course our fantastic Swim Skills coach Jane. Above all heartfelt thanks to Ruth Hepburn who worked tirelessly behind the scenes (as she always does) to organise this gala to ensure everything went like clockwork on the night.
GCSC also raised a fantastic £100 on the night to go towards the Luke Jeffries Trust which is a charity dear to our hearts.
An evening full of fun and laughter with great swimming and some fantastic PB’s! Well done to you all.
