Save the Date
YCBC Annual Presentation evening and disco will be held at The Poppleton Centre in Main Street, Poppleton on Saturday 13th January 2018.
The evening will commence at 18:30 with the buffet followed by the presentation ceremony and then the disco. The bar at the Centre will be open throughout the evening and those wishing to make a night of it will be pleased to hear that we can dance the night away until at least 23:30.
Please note, this is a new date for this event, which has been moved forward due to a recent change to the gala calendar.
To help with numbers, all those attending the presentation evening will be required to purchase tickets in advance. Tickets cost £2 each and are available now from either Claire Thomas-Durrant or Jessica Gregory, or from David Allitt or Suzy Thom (at Teaching Tuesdays and Thursdays). If you are not able to see them in person, please email ticket requests to Claire at ycbc.fundraisingcoordinator@gmail.com, specifying your swimmer’s name(s), their current squad/group, which days they swim, and the number of tickets you require, and we will arrange to get the tickets to you.
The number of tickets available is limited to 200 so please purchase your tickets early to avoid disappointment. Every ticket purchased will be entered into a prize draw which will be held on the night – it’s therefore really important that you remember to bring your tickets with you in order to have a chance of winning a cash prize of either £100, £50 or £25.
In previous years those attending the presentation event have brought ‘party’ food and we have enjoyed a fabulous buffet as a result. We would very much like to continue with this ‘tradition’ and I would therefore be grateful if all those attending would bring a plate of food along. Anything suitable for a cold buffet would be great e.g. sandwiches, crisps, sausage rolls, chicken drumsticks, pork pies, salads, cake etc.
The evening will commence at 18:30 with the buffet followed by the presentation ceremony and then the disco. The bar at the Centre will be open throughout the evening and those wishing to make a night of it will be pleased to hear that we can dance the night away until at least 23:30.
The format of the presentation ceremony will be the same as in January 2017. Our 2017 Club Champions will be acknowledged with the presentation of a top boy and top girl award in each of the age groups in which medals were awarded at the recent Club Championships. In addition, based on efforts made throughout 2017, a collection of Individual Achievement Awards and Recognition Awards will be presented to swimmers from every training squad and our teaching section. Last, but not least, the outstanding swim of 2017 will be celebrated, and our 2017 swimmer of the year will be crowned.
Our Fund Raising Team (Jo Jordan and Claire Thomas-Durrant) would be pleased to receive any donations of raffle prizes for the event (any prizes received and not used for the raffle on the night will be used at other club fundraising events throughout the year). Items can be handed to the ladies, or any member of the committee, at swimming lessons or training sessions in the run up to the event.
We hope that families from across the Club will attend and support the evening, to make it as prestigious and enjoyable event as it was last year.
Kind regards,
The YCBC Executive Committee
