6th Annual Mint Open Gala 2022
Where to start?
We saw 77 Kendal ASC swimmers compete over the two sessions. For many this was their first experience of a gala never mind an external gala. You all behaved and performed excellent. Plenty of PBS were had, medals galore, spot prizes won. Shoutout to James Escolme who handed his spot prizes to younger swimmers. Linda even won the coaches raffle prize. Thank you to the coaches and team managers who were poolside supporting our swimmers.
Thank you to our referees, Mike Bond, Russ Parker, Helen Smith-Ward and Rosemary Jones.
Thank you to all the officials officiating at the gala, your support is genuinely appreciated and with out your continued support we just wouldn’t be able to run our open gala.
To the army of Kendal ASC volunteers who have worked tirelessly before, during and after the gala to make it the success it was.
Katie Heddle for organising the sponsors/raffle prizes.
Sandra Carradice for organising the food.
Jen Gibson for organising the awards.
Jenny Woodburn for organising the spot-prizes.
The many helpers manning the door, raffle, cakes and sweet stalls.
Competition stewards for making sure the swimmers were where they needed to be, in turn keeping the gala running smoothly.
Kirsty Keech for being our superb announcer.
Dave Stansfield for getting both swimmers and spectators dancing and ensuring the royal box had a live feed.
