Welcome to Poynton Dippers
Event Date Location
Tadpoles Gala Sat  12th Sep '09 Poynton Leisure centre

Wow! What a great first week of the annual tadpoles gala.

The Stockport Grand Central pool was buzzing with the kind of atmosphere that only a swimming gala can generate.

We were competing against representatives of eight other swimming clubs – Hyde, Wilmslow, Romiley, Hazel grave, Davenport, Marple, Reddish, Stockport and our team did the Dippers proud with every swimmer winning a trophy, medal or speeding ticket in at least one of their races.

Stand out performances on the night came from Olivia Archibald, Hannah Hatton and Danielle Lomas who in the 25m Butterfly, 50m Butterfly and 50m Breaststroke respectively came outright top of their age category.

Many thanks to Colin for creating the race order spreadsheet which proved very successful on the night and to Louise Lomas and Donna Martin for organising the children poolside and most especially to each and every one of the Dippers swimmers who were a credit to the club both in and out of the pool.

The only downside was that as far as we know we did not win the raffle!   

Well done to everyone and now let’s look forward to the second half of the event on the 26th September.
