Following our members satisfaction survey, we received some feedback about the accessibility of the committee members on Tuesday evening club nights, which threw up a range of views.
Some members felt the committee should not sit in the café as they didn’t want to approach them in case they were interrupting, but other members felt it was good to have them in the café as they were easy to find and speak to.
Some members felt that the committee should be based in the club office (Altyre Suite) on a Tuesday evening, but others were worried that they might be interrupting a meeting if they came in to the office to speak to a committee member.
Obviously there is not any one solution which suits everyone, so can all members please be aware that every committee member who is at Tollcross on a Tuesday evening can be approached at any time for information about the club, or just for a chat. It doesn’t matter if we are in the café, in the gallery or in the club office. Please do not worry that you are interrupting – it’s what we’re here for. You may sometimes find the office door closed, but that doesn’t mean there is a meeting in progress, and even if there is, the person you want to speak to will usually be able to come out. Please just come in.
Committee members will usually be wearing their blue club polo shirt so that they can be easily identified, so please come and say hello and ask about anything you need help with. Remember there’s no such thing as a silly question!

The Countdown Continues for LEN European Short Course Swimming Championships Glasgow 2019 as Official Mascot Bonnie The Seal is announced!
The LEN European Short Course Championships 2019 comes to Glasgow between 4-8 December 2019, where spectators will watch as European champions are crowned over five days of rip-roaring action. Europe’s finest swimmers will descend on the city to compete in no less than 40 short course events. The prestigious event which is held every two years, will take on further importance in 2019, as it marks the event’s 20th edition, at Glasgow’s Tollcross International Swimming Centre.
With triple Olympian Hannah Miley already confirmed as Official Championship Ambassador, another major announcement has just been made as Glasgow’s very own Bonnie The Seal was unveiled as the Official Championship Mascot.
Hannah Miley is one of the most decorated British swimmers of all time, having won multiple 400m Individual Medley titles at British, European and Commonwealth level. Miley’s resumé also includes world silver, whilst her fourth place finish at the Rio 2016 Olympics was just shy of a bronze medal while Bonnie The Seal makes a magnificent return after a much-loved stint as Glasgow 2018’s mascot.
Short course swimming is a fast-paced event and is guaranteed to have crowds energised from start to finish. Races are competed in a 25m pool, requiring swimmers to complete more turns, so crowds will see competitive, adrenaline-fuelled races – setting up this event as one of the most exciting of the year.
Tickets for the event are on sale NOW with the championships set to be a cornerstone event in Scotland’s 2019 sporting calendar.
The LEN European Short Course Championship 2019 is guaranteed to give the Scottish crowd unmissable entertainment. To grab your tickets before they are sold out, and for more event information, visit www.euroswim2019.com
