Hi Virginia Club Members and Families,

As we approach the close of the year, I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their fantastic participation in the club carnivals. We have had amazing involvement, and although we’ve finished in 3 hard-fought second places, the efforts of all our swimmers have been outstanding.

A special shout-out to all the parents who have gone out of their way to drive our kids to these carnivals. Importantly, thank you to those who volunteered their time for roles such as timekeeping, marshalling, and organizing. Without your help, these events simply couldn’t happen.

Looking ahead to next season, we have three important dates that I would love everyone to mark in their calendars:

The Mole Trophy
Held at the Somerset Seals pool on Saturday, February 8th. This event is open to all swimmers and is always a great way to kick off the year.

The Community Shield Relay Event
On the afternoon of Saturday, March 8th. This is a fast-paced, exciting event with all lanes taken! Virginia will have 2 lanes, and we’ll be competing against United, The Electric Eels, Aspley, and Nundah.

Club Championships
On March 22nd and 23rd. Qualification Note: To qualify, swimmers must participate in at least 50% of the Friday night events. Please ensure you monitor your child’s participation so they don’t miss out on this vital event.

Once again, thank you for an amazing season so far. I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and an extra-special New Year!

Cheers,
Mark Flynn
