 | We were saddened to learn that Christine passed away last month shortly before her 60th birthday – please see the Facebook message from the family below. "Unfortunately, we write to share the heartbreaking news of Christine’s passing in the early hours of Sunday morning. She was at home and surrounded by family. Her decline over the past few weeks took us all by surprise. But that was Christine all over - determined to stay alive but then determined to go when she accepted it was time. She was the definition of resilience. |

Roy was RNSC's sole participant in this event, from which he brought back the following medals:
Paul C was RNSC's only representative at this event, claiming medals in both his races:
Congratulations to our 9 competitors, who won a total of 13 Gold, 12 Silver and 5 Bronze medals! Star of the show was Mike G (lane 6) who won all 5 of his races in the 85-89yr age group. He was cheered on and applauded by the competitors in true Masters tradition. Caitlin won Gold in the under 25yr 100m Backstroke, but missed her other races due to a shoulder injury. We hope you feel OK and make a fast recovery Caitlin. Paul C demonstrated his cool confidence, leaving after his 100m Breaststroke race to attend a lunchtime party, and then returning to compete in the 50m Breaststroke race! Clair smashed most of her entry times, winning 2 Golds and 2 Silvers, and will probably be leading Lane 3 soon! Chris S had not raced for a while but made up for that by competing in 7 races, collecting 3 Gold and 3 Silver medals. Well done Chris, we hope to see you on the blocks again soon! Karen B, Roy, Janet and Martin brought home the rest of the medals.  Full results details:
Well done to our competitors who represented RNSC at the Barnet Copthall Distance Meet! They brought home a fine collection of gold and silver medals from this top quality meet, where 10 new British records were set!
Well done team!! What a great day out!! Great individual medal hauls and a good overall placing for our club. RNSC came 5th of 13 clubs, managing to pip Hillingdon by 20 points. This was a well attended and well run competition, with some extremely fast swimmers. It was good to see new members, Helen and Caitlin join the team. Caitlin collected a gold medal for each of her races! (Unfortunately she had to leave early before the team photo was taken!)  Another fine performance by Roy, who was the only RNSC swimmer at this event.
Despite having missed several weeks of training at the beginning of the year, Roy achieved excellent race times and collected 6 gold medals:
Congratulations to Jenny for completing the London Marathon in a time of 4:10.16. "The crowds were amazing and I am so happy with the day. Thanks to all that have sponsored me."  16 of us met at Hollywood Bowl in Watford for a couple of games of ten pin bowling. We split into 4 teams of 4 players:
GAME 1 Top 3 individual scorers - Martin (109) / Duncan (103) / Andrew (101) GAME 2 Top 3 individual scorers - Andrew (133) / Heera (109) / Chris (88) TEAM SCORES:
Congratulations to Team 4 who were the overall winners with 612 points. A fun evening was had by all and we look forward to doing it again in the future.  |
