5 August: A little late publishing this - very good swims at nationals with notable PBs nearly every time out. Report will be loaded via the meet calendar at the end of the week, after which there probably won't be any updates to the site until early September, beyond annual housekeeping. When we do return, we'll have news of a plan for RSC involvement in a major charity effort in early December, and a fun fund-raising competition within the club to start the new season.
21 July: Very sorry, despite lengthy filming on Saturday our meet didn't make the cut for "Meridian Tonight" as hoped, a football transfer between Southampton and Chelsea dominating the sports report.
18-20 July: ASA long-course nationals in Manchester - Reading's Graham Edmunds (S10) wins a 100m free silver and a bronze in the 50 in the multi-disability events.
19 July: Many thanks to everyone who
helped the sprints go off so well yesterday, particularly those parents working
a meet for the first time. You can see the full results here,
and there will be a report in the Post on Thursday with photographs. Highlights
were Danielle Mason breaking four records in making a clean sweep of the 15s
group, plus a number of other records by Joshua Alfred and Bruno Bamberger, and some great
swims by Felipe, Isabella, Maria and Esteban Ramos, who joined us recently.
Finally, some found property was handed in to pool reception - a pair of
black Speed Socket goggles (which cost about 12 quid, so well worth claiming)
and a dark blue "Aerolin" inhaler which someone is bound to miss. And
one gold medal which I think was handed back to Louise Barnes and can be claimed
on Thursday at our last club night.

for the summer tickover training schedule.
13 July: The last away meet of the season - six members of Age Group Squad tackle the City of Sheffield long-course graded meet at Ponds Forge and come home with 12 top-three medals from a total of 23 swims. Report via the meet calendar.
3-5 July: A busy Welsh nationals for Holly Tanner - including a record, three golds and two silvers. With the meet returning to a long-course pool for the first time since 1998, several records held by former Reading swimmer Suzanne Flook fall, but at least one still stands
2 July: It's a long way between plans being announced and coming to funding and fruition, but very promising news for swimming as Reading's borough leisure blueprint is announced - the intention is to build a 25 metre pool at Palmer Park to replace Arthur Hill pool, a new pool as part of the Chatham St project to replace Central and, most excitingly, a joint project with the university for a 50m pool on the Whiteknights campus. A couple of minor errors in the report (I told them it's Sheffield we trek to for long-course events, not Portsmouth, and Aldershot is a regular rather than occasional training venue), but the Post's story here makes welcome reading.
21-22 June: Back at Southern Counties, and the big news is an incredibly gutsy 1500 by Russel Korting to secure a richly deserved NQT at the last gasp. Bruno Bamberger makes repeat long-course NQTs in the same event and the 400. Garry Dixon fifth in his 200 back after being called up for the final as first reserve. Overall, Russel and Holly Tanner place sixth in the south in their year under BAGCATS, Louisa Downs ninth and Bruno 10th. Full reports on this and Newbury via the meet calendar.
21 June: Reading finish second visiting club and third overall at the Newbury graded meet. Golds to Chris Boyce (with a 50 breast meet record in his year), Andy Flett, Andrew Chandler and Rob Wilson, and Amy Kunicki twice touches first in finals only to cross the speeding ticket barrier.
14-15 June: Start of Southern Counties age groups - a silver and a bronze each for Russel Korting and Holly Tanner, a bronze for Bruno Bamberger, a fifth for Louisa Downs and a sixth for Garry Dixon, 800 PB for Becky Alderson. Report via the calendar and photos of three medal ceremonies here, here and here.
12 June: Many congratulations to B Squad's Andrew Chandler, Swimmer of the Month and an excellent backstroke prospect. And if you ever find a snake in your kit bag, ask Andrew first...
6-8 June: Sixteen Reading Masters swimmers compete at nationals in Swansea and all come home with at least one medal as individuals, in relays or both - a total six gold, 10 silver and 13 bronze (actually two more bronze than in my press report). Report via the meet calendar. And at the "No Frills" meet in Aldershot, Garry Dixon gets an NQT in the 400 free.
30-31 May: Reading team of 10 more than punches its weight at the Guildford Open, but boy, was it hot! Golds go to Garry Dixon, Russel Korting (particularly good as the meet was age-as-at-nationals so he was "swimming up" as a 14-year-old), Dani Mason, Holly Tanner, silvers Carole Eyles, Becky Alderson, Emma Zadrozny, bronze Charlotte Thompson. Holly misses Top Girl by one point. Meanwhile, a squad drawn mostly from the Age Group and junior squads swims the Bournemouth Open - a first meet at this level for many Reading swimmers. Reports on both can be seen via the meet calendar, and full Bournemouth results here and Guildford (Excel format) via this link.
19-21 May: No big meet this weekend, but still some RSC action. Leanne Haas and Emma Zadrozny shine in the Southern Counties 800; Louisa Downs, Russel Korting and Danielle Mason swim in the Berks & South Bucks inter-county team; several younger members swim for Berkshire Schools at Barnet; on dry land, David Murphy and David Thomas run the Woodley 3k race, David M. finishing second overall.
17 May: Just a week left to enter the Berks & South Bucks open "no frills" NQT meet at Aldershot. RSC entries have already been submitted - if you're visiting the site from outside (take a look around while you're here!) the forms can be downloaded via the "Counties" link in the contents panel.
10-11 May: Cracking weekend for Top Squad age-groupers at Bath University. Highlights include a first NQT of the season for Garry Dixon, a second for Emma Zadrozny, top girl wins for Dani Mason and Louisa Downs, numerous age-group wins, seconds or thirds and above all a really great team spirit right through the weekend. Report via the calendar.
8 May: A date for your diary: the annual club sprints will be on Saturday 19 July at Central (the last club night is the following Thursday). Doors open 2 p.m. as usual, in one session with an early evening finish. Allan Eyles Meet and Southern Counties reports now loaded via the meet calendar, and there's a photo of Dan's 200 fly medal ceremony here.
3-5 May: Southern Counties youth championships at Crystal Palace. Reading stars are Daniel John (bronze 200 fly), Emma Zadrozny (fifth 400 IM) and Dani Mason (several finals including fifth 100 breast.) Full results via our links page.
3 May: The inaugural Allan Eyles Graded Meet. Exciting swimming in a very full programme, and Newbury SC are top visiting club. Full results here - Session 1 and Session 2. Particular thanks to timekeepers from visiting clubs and Reading parents helping out for the first time. Fun, isn't it?
2 May: The latest Evening Post Swimmer of the Month is Hannah Lamb, 15, of Age Group Squad. Dedication in training is one of the factors in these awards, and former gymnast Hannah has a fantastic record - in a squad training eight times a week, she has missed only one of the last 200 sessions. She has her first Southern Counties swims this weekend. The Haslemere meet report is now available via the meet calendar and full results here.
27 April: Fourteen speeding tickets and several medals as RSC makes its first trip to the Haslemere junior open graded meet. Those to the fore include Chris Dunkley, Aisling Keogh, Harry Marsh, James Tichband and Frankie Wilkins.
27 April: Former captain Alex Perrin, training with Reading during the university vacation, swims for regional league winners Norwich in the Speedo League national A final in Sheffield.
25 April: Full Easter Open and Thames Valley Junior League reports can now be accessed via the meet calendar.
23 April: Not Reading this time, but many congratulations to Alex Vine of Wycombe, one of the top performers at the Easter meet, on his selection for the European junior championships. The full team can be seen at the ASA site via our links page.
23 April: Bringing things up to date a bit. The meet calendar now links to a report on the county relays at Wycombe earlier this month. And news of the Thames Valley Junior League on the 12th - we were sixth in round three at Newbury, but with a depleted team and in our first A-final for a couple of years following two successive B-final wins after finishing outside the top six in the first two rounds. Apologies for no press report on this last week - my fault as Peter sent me one but I hadn't told him I was going on holiday. It may now appear this Thursday, but might get squeezed out by Easter meet coverage. Either way, it will be linked to the meet calendar from Friday.
20 April: Easter Open concludes. A massive thanks to all RSC members, visiting officials and clubs. Full results now loaded via the link to the left.
19 April: Easter Open Day 2. Particular RSC highlights today were age group golds for Dani Mason, Russel Korting and Becky Alderson, Becky's 100 fly 13s group win a first ever NQT, and grand final bronzes for Dani, Emma Zadrozny and Daniel John. Hope to post full results for days 2 and 3 here tomorrow evening.
18 April: First day of the Easter Open, relatively relaxed with a full programme of 50s and the 800 and 1500 free as the town swelters in Mediterranean temperatures, just right for the swimmers back the previous day from 80k of hard graft in Malta. Reading gold medallists in various events (much more detail in the Evening Post on Thursday and here subsequently) are Becky Alderson, Louisa Downs, Leona Jones, Russel Korting, Dani Mason, Matt Sandell and Holly Tanner.
10 April: Sorry, been a bit busy lately so no recent updates. And none now before Thursday next week, the 17th. We look forward to welcoming visiting clubs to the Easter Open next week - they can find full road directions here. Please pop along to the announcer's desk if you've got any birthday greetings or the like.
29 March: Counties individual events conclude - full results now loaded, report via the meet calendar. Several Top Squad swimmers are at the Sheffield long-course meet, where highlights include a first national time of the season for Emma Zadrozny (14/15 200 fly), 400 free and IM nationals and several medals for Louisa Downs (also top 12 y.o. girl) and Rebecca Alderson just 0.01 off a 100 fly national in winning an age group bronze. Full results from the Sheffield site here.
22 March: Counties BAGCATS leaders (top 8) up to and including Session 7 can now be seen via our Counties page.
21 March: Full details of the Berks & S.Bucks "no frills" designated meet at Aldershot now available from our Counties page. Closing date 24 May, meet 7 June.
19 March: Full results of Counties sessions 4-7 now loaded, and report on 5-6 via the meet calendar. Further evening results include wins for Russel Korting (200 free), Dani Mason (100 free), Emma Zadrozny (100 fly), Matt Sandell overall 50m back champion. Silvers to Rob Wilson (50 back) Leanne Haas and Dani Mason (100 fly), bronze Charlotte Haas and Amy Wicks 100 fly, Sam Flory (50 back).
15 March: Counties again - the boys junior relay A team wins a silver and a bronze, Matt Sandell is overall 100 back champion. Louisa Downs goes through the card in the 12s group and secures a first ever NQT in the 100 fly in the evening session. Daniel John, one of the relay stars, is third in the junior 100 fly. Dani Mason gets a silver and a bronze with further third places for her, Bruno Bamberger (another relay medallist), Russel Korting, Amy Kunicki and Holly Tanner (two NQTs). Dozens of PBs throughout the team.
9 March: The Reading Half-Marathon. Coach Maria Leonard puts together a huge team of swimmers, parents, coaches, teachers and helpers to staff the Duke Street water station. Meanwhile, swimmers - several having done counties the night before - star in various years in the mini-marathon, with a third place for Dani Mason, equal third for Louisa Downs, fourth for Hannah Lamb, sixth for Emily O'Brien, eighth for Rebecca Alderson and 10th for David Murphy.
8 March: Official results of the distance session at Counties are still awaited, but strong Reading swims include Bruno Bamberger second junior and third overall in the 1500 free (NQT) [not third/fourth as originally published, sorry!], a one-minute PB for Russel Korting, Emma Zadrozny breaking 9.30 for the first time over 800, Dani Mason not far behind, Louisa Downs 9.40 and Leanne Haas breaking 10 minutes for the first time. Full report via meet calendar. Holly Tanner away at the season's third World Class Start camp at Bath University.
6 March: Congratulations to our latest Swimmer of the Month - Harry Marsh from Emma Tarrant's D Squad, first-time counties qualifier this year.
1 March: Congrats to Carole Eyles, county 200 breaststroke champion, and Emma Zadrozny, junior champion and second overall! Other top swims at the first round of the Berks and South Bucks championships include silvers for Danielle Mason in both junior 200 breast and 50 free, senior 100 breast silver for Matt Sandell, Daniel John second junior and third overall in the 200 fly, age group golds in various events for Danielle, Louisa Downs (200 free and 100 IM), Charlotte Thompson (200 breast), a gold and a silver for Russel Korting and a silver for Leona Jones, bronze for several of the above plus Bruno Bamberger, Becky Alderson, Amy Kunicki, Leanne Haas. And major commiserations to Taryn Brunette, who would have had a bronze for a great swim in the junior 200 breast but for a DQ for a one-handed turn. Results (sorry, relays not available) via Counties link to left and full report via the meet calendar.
28 February: You can now see the Wycombe report via the meet calendar, and full meet results via the Wycombe site here.
27 February: This season may be only at its mid-point, but planning for 2003-04 is already under way. One major change from earlier years is that the main part of the RSC club championships will be held in five sessions over one weekend, 1st-2nd November, Saturday p.m. and evening and Sunday a.m., p.m. and evening. This should free several Saturdays earlier in the autumn for possible away meets.
23 February: We have a national champion to congratulate! Charlotte Thompson of Top Squad, 14, was a member of the winning team for her year in the national schools biathlon championship in Macclesfield. Charlotte was fastest in her team in both the 100m freestyle swim (a PB) and the 1,000 metre run.
15-17 February: The Wycombe Classic, an annual highlight. Plenty of Reading PBs despite Handy Cross's reputation as a supposed "slow pool". Great 13/14 50 free gold by Bruno Bamberger is Reading's top male swim, and Dani Mason and Emma Zadrozny bring home silvers. Excellent PBs for two less experienced team members in Leona Jones (50 breast) and Robert Gillingham-Diss, going 29.09 in his 50 free. Report in the Post Thursday 27th.
8 February: It's back to Amersham for the Junior League team, and third place could see us make the A final this year after two years as B final winners. Individual wins include Josh Alfred, Chris Boyce and Amy Kunicki. Report via the meet calendar.
7 February: A little more detail in the Post on Arthur Hill. A leading councillor again denies closure is imminent, but says its life should be counted in years rather than decades.
4 February: Reading Borough Council denies that Arthur Hill pool is about to close, but "admits the pool faces a future of change". Link to Evening Post story here.
30 January: The latest swimmer of the month is from Top Squad - Emma Zadrozny, aiming for breaststroke and IM national youth times and along with sister Charlotte among the club's most dedicated trainers.
24 January: The first preparatory meeting for the Easter Open will be held in the room under the stairs at Central Pool next Thursday, 30th January. As well as the usual suspects, we look forward to as many parents as possible coming along. This one will be quite brief. And of course, all sponsorship offers and ideas will be most welcome.
23 January: Junior League Round 1 report now linked via the meet calendar. We are back at Amersham again in Round 2, on 1st February.
20 January: Warning about Counties forms - age on the day for the boys is as for the girls, 5th April.
19 January: Update - the pool at Queen Anne's School is back in action, a temporary fix for now.
18 January: Note for swimmers and parents in Top and Age Group squads. The car park at Central Pool will be closed from 11 p.m. Monday until 12 noon Tuesday for line marking to take place. (I suspect this is connected with plans reported earlier for a pay and display system, but I don't know any details of this.) The diving pit will be back in use from 4 p.m. tomorrow, Sunday.
15 January: Reading Sports Aid Foundation/Evening Post awards night for the town's sports personalities of the year at the Renaissance Hotel, with Meridian TV in attendance. Becky Cooke wins the overall top award - see Post report here - and Holly Tanner is joint winner of the junior female personality award with Reading Athletic Club hurdler Marchessa Holyfield. Pool sports are well represented, with the night's best reception going to Chris Phillips of Reading Cygnets, male veteran of the year, and a number of awards for the Reading Royals synchro club, including Helen Alderson, sister of RSC swimmer Rebecca.
15 January: Update on the Derby meet. Not only did Matt Sandell win the top male category in the top age group, by a big margin, but Joe Korting was joint second and Craig Woodward fourth. Becky Alderson was third out of 61 12-year-olds; Emma Zadrozny seventh 14/15; and Bruno Bamberger (national time in the 400 free) 10th 14-year-old. Derby's results service is second to none - check it out here. And our full report is now linked via the meet calendar.
14 January: Just noticed that Southern Counties consideration times have now been published - see the excellent SCASA site via our links page.
13 January: Update on Queen Anne's - the pool is losing water, consultants have been called in but it will remain closed at least until Sunday 19th, inclusive. We hope for an update on Friday 17th.
11-12 January: Brilliant Reading performance at the City of Derby meet at Sheffield, with Matt Sandell top swimmer in his year and PBs all round - many of these (e.g. Emma Zadrozny, Russel Korting and Charlotte Thompson) by huge margins. The Junior League team place third at Amersham in a gala held up periodically to allow the adjacent wave machine to be run!
10 January: Urgent message for squads due to train at Queen Anne's - the pool is out of order and will be for about a week, so training is off for squads due there tonight and on Sunday.
9 January: Congratulations to Chow-man Leung of Peter Hood's C Squad, the latest Evening Post swimmer of the month.
5 January: After a few weeks without competition, the squad makes final preparations for the City of Derby meet at Sheffield this weekend. Training has been nearly uninterrupted over the holidays, with only the three bank holidays blank and some other sessions extended to compensate. Reading swimmers have enjoyed the experience of training alongside internationals Becky Cooke and Ian Edmond, home for the holidays. And best wishes to Manchester's Adrian Turner, a guest at our summer "tickover" training, for a speedy recovery from his broken collarbone!
14 December: Fantastic night for the Speedo League A team, gala winners by a big margin at Crawley. Too many highlights to list them all - U/14 girls Louisa Downs, Rebecca Alderson, Leanne Haas and Sally Wise win five events out of six and are second in the other, Matt Sandell goes under a minute in the 100 back, Daniel John steps up from the B team to win the U/16 fly. Bs meanwhile place fifth in Basingstoke, with three of the four ahead of them A teams. Full reports via the meet calendar; full results and tables from the Speedo League web site via our links page.
8 December: Easter Open info now loaded - see link to left.
6-8 December: Reading swimmers meet the elite at the Bath GP. Report via meet calendar.
5 December: Congratulations to the latest Evening Post Swimmer of the Month, Jonathan Hunter-Lara of B squad. Full reports on last weekend's meets at Sheffield and Crystal Palace can now be accessed via the meet calendar. (Apologies to Hannah Lamb for attributing her gold at Sheffield to the wrong event in the paper version!)
30 November: Great performance by a large Reading team in the Sheffield City graded meet at the country's top venue, including golds for Hannah Lamb and Craig Frankum and the trophy for third team overall.
30 November-1 December: Muted atmosphere (putting it mildly) for the Southern Counties winter championships, switched to Crystal Palace to provide a long-course venue but still attracting very small fields with three heats per event the norm. Matt Sandell (200 IM) and Athalie Redwood-Brown (50 breast), both fifth, place highest in finals; Holly Tanner fourth junior and overall in 800 free, Emma Zadrozny sixth junior and seventh overall in the 400 IM, plus eighth in 200 breast after a very late call. Daniel John fourth/eighth 200 fly, very good 400 free from Rob Knott (fourth junior) and 200 IM from Joseph Korting (fifth junior), Danielle Mason sixth junior in the 50 breast.
30 November: Details of the Reading Easter Open 2003 will be available here shortly. Please note an error in the ad published in "Swimming" magazine - the dates are 18th-20th April, not 21st, i.e. Good Friday to Easter Sunday inclusive, as in earlier years.
27 November: Berks and South Bucks county qualifying times for 2003 have now been published. Click here for links to full meet info, including schedules and qualifying times.
22 November: Awards Night at a great venue, the Ibis Club, Scours Lane. Service awards go to assistant treasurer/meet computer whizz-person Gill Korting (Burt Memorial Bowl) and (easily the night's longest applause) coach/liaison officer Maria Leonard. Swimmers of the year are Chris Robinson and Holly Tanner, and Louisa Herring wins the Reading Cygnets Friendship Cup for contribution to the junior squads. Some fantastic raffle prizes, including meals for two at the Loch Fyne and Pack Saddle restaurants (the Loch Fyne is near The Oracle and the Pack Saddle on the Woodcote Road just past Caversham) and a day at Chepstow Races with Ladbrokes betting vouchers, plus of course many smaller prizes. Many thanks to all donors.
16 November: Last session of the club championships - 400 and 100 free and 200 back. Clean sweep of all three events for Sam Flory, Craig Frankum, Chris Robinson, Bruno Bamberger, Matt Sandell, Amy Kunicki, Leanne Haas. Two records each for Matt (200 back and 100 free), Chris (200 back and 400) and for Holly Tanner (200 back and 400). Full results via the matrix and full report here.
9 November: Speedo League Round 2 doesn't go exactly as hoped - the coach (wheeled variety) gives up the ghost on the M3 and the squad is still chilling down on the hard shoulder when they should be warming up in Portsmouth. The meet is held for 20 minutes but with no warm-up and missing the first four events, Reading are always up against it and fourth place is highly creditable. The B team, meanwhile, place a comfortable fourth out of eight in Guildford. Full reports on Portsmouth here and Guildford here.
2 November: Last-but-one session of the club championships. More records for Chris Robinson and Holly Tanner, a very tight finish in the 11s 100 breaststroke brings a first trophy for Rheannon Sandell, while at the other end of the age range Athalie Redwood-Brown - swimming Masters nationals at Sheffield the same weekend! - also takes her first club gold. Excellent 200 fly by Louisa Downs puts her within striking distance of an NQT later in the season. Full results via club champs link, and report (plus a brief one on the Masters) via the meet calendar.
31 October: Congratulations to Rob Wilson, Swimmer of the Month! A late change to the next round of the Speedo League - our B team will no longer be hosting a meet, but are switched to Guildford.
28 October: Reading SC annual general meeting at the Civic Offices. With Mr H.H.V. Wilkinson retiring after sterling service over many decades, Roger Penfold has been elected club president. Congratulations also to Jessica Tyrrell, our new ladies' captain succeeding Laura Leonard who is now away at university - James Golding is returned unopposed as men's captain.
24 October: Girls 800 at the club championships - results can be accessed via the grid in the frame to the left, and click here for a brief report.
19 October: Many thanks to everyone who helped with the B-grade meet. Reading's David Thomas wins the trophy for top boy, Louise Dickinson of Elmbridge top girl. Full results here, and written-up report here.
17 October: Final heats of the boys' 1500 in the club championships. Full results via club championships link in frame to left and report here.
16 October: National times for the 2003 Youth and BAGCATS championships are now out. Click here to go straight to the full list.
14 October: Girls' 400 IM club champs now available via link to left.
12 October: Very exciting swimming in the Speedo League at Oxford, where the A team finishes a very narrow 6th in a Premier Division gala won by Portsmouth, and at home where the B team are a close second to Guildford B in Div.2. Full reports on both can be accessed via the meet calendar.
10 October: Congratulations to Louise Gillatt of Age Group Squad, RSC's first Evening Post swimmer of the month this season. Club champs continue with the girls' 400 IM and the first heat of the boys' 1500. Two records in the IM, by Emma Zadrozny (14) and Holly Tanner (12), in a dead-heat finish in the final heat. Full report on the 5th October sessions here.
7 October: Important announcement on the Thursday evening championships sessions - swimmers/parents should consult coaches about changes to some squad training times to try and make sure those who usually start at 6 p.m. or later on Club Night miss out on as little training as possible. Warm-up on 10th and 17th October is at 5.30 and 24th October 5.15 p.m.
5 October: Club championships get under way - large numbers competing (a first-ever competition for many from the Link Squad), great atmosphere and some enormous PBs. Highlights include clean sweeps in their years for Craig Frankum, Amy Kunicki and Chrissi Manicom, a couple of tight finishes between Rachael Hunter-Lara and Candice Bion and three records for Chris Robinson. Full results of sessions 1 & 2 - 100 fly and back, 200 breast and IM for both boys and girls - here. Note I missed a couple of dates off the meet calendar - we will now be swimming on three Thursday evenings between 6 and 8 p.m., 10th, 17th and 24th October. With numbers in membership continuing to rise, we look forward to as many hands on deck as possible to keep things to time.
4 October: Apologies for lack of recent updates, but things will hot up now competition is about to get under way. In the meantime, representative honours to report: Chrissi Manicom, Daniel John, Chris Robinson, Ryan Woodward and Matt Sandell have been picked for the Berks & S.Bucks inter-counties team, and Matt has trips to Sheffield on two consecutive weekends as he has also been picked for the English Schools Division 10 team, as has Craig Woodward.
18 September: Hot off the press, early news of the 2003 Berks and South Bucks county championships. Click here.
14 September: For a season preview, click here.
10 September: News of venues for the first two rounds of the Speedo League. The "B" team are at home on both 12th October and 9th November, while the As travel to Oxford for the first round and Portsmouth for the second. (Venues for the third and final round are decided after the results of the first two are collated.) The other opposition at Oxford are Portsmouth, Amersham, Windsor and Kingston. Visitors to Reading will be Andover, Guildford B, Farnham, Gosport and Jersey - although in earlier years the last named have taken part in early rounds via time trials, for obvious reasons of cost. Several of these clubs have web sites which can be found at the ASA web site via our links page.
2 September: Training resumes! A warm welcome to everyone new to the club or to this site. We hope you will find it useful. A number of pages accessed via links in the frame to the left have been updated for the new season - check them out, including full details of the 19th October home B-grade meet and an entry form for RSC members. If there is anything you think would be useful which we don't cover, please drop an email to the address above and we'll see what we can do, or explain why we can't.
