Now that the COGST Long Course Graded event is over it is time to show our appreciation for the person who pulled it all together and made it happen - our Meet Director and Club President Marjorie Phillips.

Most people are not aware of the amount of work that goes on behind the scenes to run a meet especially if this is the 1st one which the club has run for many years.

Marjorie worked tirelessly to organise:

• Volunteers - to cover all of the jobs before during and after the meet
• Technical officials - to ensure that all sessions were covered and accredited
• Hire of the pool, catering and facilities at Tollcross
• Equipment required to run the meet - laptops, printers, watches, radios, clipboards etc.
• T-shirts for volunteers to identify the helpers
• Buying Water and sweets for everybody who was helping
• Liasing with the West District, Scottish Swimming and Glasgow Life to ensure that all the requirements were met
• Co-ordinating all of the activities "on the day" to ensure that the meet ran smoothly

It was a fantastic effort and a job well done to Marjorie.

The Committee, Coaches members and parents would like to thank you for your hard work in making this such a successful meet.

Huge thanks to everyone who helped to make our Long Course Graded Meet such a success at the weekend:

To all the volunteers who came along over the weekend and marshalled, supervised warm ups/swim down pool, sold entry bands, staffed tombola, organised medals, ran live results, printed, photocopied, and staffed entrances to changing village/galleries etc.

Special thanks to Brian and Stewart for Meet Entries and AOE – they did a great job in the run up to the meet and keeping things running smoothly all weekend in the glass box.

To Ian Faulds for spending all weekend as announcer – hope you’ve still got a voice!

To our senior swimmers Katie, Elise and Serena who did a great job as runners and selling start sheets.

Special mention to two of our foundation swimmers Rose and Callum who did a fantastic job all weekend keeping the technical officials supplied with sweets and water – always with big smiles on their faces!

Thanks to Lyndsey, Gerry and Paul and all of their staff at Tollcross for their help over the weekend.

To WrightSport for running the swim shop.

To the West District and to Lynn Alderton for advice and support during the planning stages for the meet. For my first time as Meet Director, it was great to have people to answer the silly questions!

To Janice, Liz, Jean and all of the other technical officials who gave up their weekend to support us – we couldn’t have a meet without them.

Finally, thanks to all the coaches and swimmers from both COGST and the 33 other clubs who came along and supported the first meet which COGST have run for eight years. We hope you enjoyed it, got lots of PBs and will come back next year!

Background

GDPR is an important change in government legislation regarding data protection and stands for The General Data Protection Regulation. It effectively provides an update to the Data Protection Act, bringing in new requirements and increasing the penalties for breaches. Any organisation that is required by law to comply with GDPR must do so by the 25th May 2018 at the latest. This law doesn’t only cover businesses, but sports clubs as well, since clubs, too, handle sensitive personal data their members trust them with.

GDPR will impose strict controls on how all organisations collect and process personal data within the EU and/or personal data of EU citizens. The UK is expected to enforce the full range of GDPR requirements.

The regulation outlines six key principles for organisations that process individuals' personal information. These are that data shall be:

1. processed lawfully, fairly and transparently
2. collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes
3. adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary for processing
4. accurate and kept up to date
5. retained only for as long as necessary
6. processed in an appropriate manner to maintain security

Does this apply to our club?

The GDPR applies to any “data controllers” or “data processors”. Those are technical terms but, in essence, if you collect any personal data in running your club (which you will do if you have any members) then the GDPR will apply.

What does this mean for me?

There is an updated Privacy Policy for the website which provides more detail on our policy and procedures to safeguard your information.

What do I need to do?

One of the key points in GDPR compliance is that "Active Consent" should be given to hold, manage and process personal information. All members who wish to register on the website will be required to give consent to this. If consent is not given then an account cannot be created. Consent can be withdrawn at any time, but if this is done then your account will be removed.

How do I do this?

When logged into the website, click on the Member Services -> Change User settings link. Then tick the box in the Additional Settings tab to say that you agree to the Terms and Conditions of website membership.

What if I don't do this?

If you haven't given consent by 1st April 2018, then your website account will be removed.

Further updates will be sent out in regards to your general Club Membership and any actions that are required.

Please see the Training Times timetable which will commence from Monday 5th March.

Tollcross will open the full facility from Monday 5th March after its 12-month closure for essential maintenance. The majority of COGST training has been relocated to its original time before the closure however some may have changed.

The timetable attached will notify the schedule for each squad. COGST staff have worked closely with Glasgow Life management over the last 12 months to minimise the disruption as much as possible although we recognise that members have been inconvenienced we thank you for your paitence during this time.
