Hi
everyone,
Pontins
We have to pay the full amount to Pontins very soon
so we really need to know who is coming along to join
our annual outing to Brean Sands between Friday
15th - Sunday 17th May. Cost is £30
(slight increase due to type of chalets). Please can
captains (or designated person) let me know by Thursday
5th March who is coming along from their team. Could
players please help and email captains (or designated
person) their response either way. Cheques will be needed
no later than THURSDAY 12TH MARCH
and made payable to Swan Centre Netball Club and hand
to Rose or myself.
Kit
As you know we are updating our kit and our South Region
teams look smashing in their new dresses with both teams
showing off their new kit when playing friendlies against
the Navy tomorrow evening in Portsmouth.
Our new tops have now arrived and are ready to be collected
from Yvonne. She will be available to do this from 6.30pm
until 7.00pm (before going to her training) each Thursday
evening (starting this week) in the reception of the
sports hall. Alternatively, you can email her on yvonne@vearbuilding.co.uk
and arrange to pick it up on Saturdays (with your payment).
Tops cost just £10
(50% subsidised from the Club) and cheques to be made
payable please to Swan Centre
Netball Club. If you are giving cash, please
ensure it's in an envelope with your name on the outside.
No tops will be issued without payment.
Our tops are for next year's netball though it would
be great if we could have them for Pontins. We are just
awaiting the bibs for these (which are smaller than
our current patch bibs) which are due in the next few
weeks. If anyone has not ordered a top, is new to the
club and hasn't ordered yet, or somehow missed the boat
then contact Yvonne asap yvonne@vearbuilding.co.uk.
Our thanks to Yvonne for all her hard work behind the
scenes on the kit project!
Finally, in order to finish off our look, everyone needs
to have a Swan tracksuit. Many of you will know that
the problem with this is that although they are great
quality, they are quite expensive and we have to have
a minimum order of 30 garments. We will be looking to
see if we can subsidise the cost for you and therefore
will need your help with some Club fundraising to help
to keep the cost down to a minimum. If anyone has any
easy, effective, fun ways in which we can raise some
funds, then please contact Jane
Sault (alias princess) jane.sault@hampshire.pnn.police.uk
with your ideas asap as we need to get this moving soonest.
Your ideas could be team based or club based - all welcome!!

Purples, Whites and Blues 6-7.30pm
Reds, Prem and Regional 7.30 - 9pm
This means everyone will get some training as we aware
that the Southampton League restarts on Saturday 14th
February.
Talking about snow and ice, that
leads us onto......
ICE
Message from the Ambulance Service
The concept of ICE is catching
on quickly. It is a method of contact during emergency
situations.
As mobile phones are carried by the majority of the
population, all you need to do is store the number of
a contact person or persons who should be contacted
during an emergency
under the name ICE -
In Case of Emergency.
The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that
when he went to the scenes of accidents there were always
mobile phones with patients but they didn't know which
number to call.
He therefore thought it would be a good idea if there
was a nationally recognised name for this purpose.
In an emergency, the Emergency Services /hospital staff
would be able to quickly contact the right person by
simply dialling the number you have stored as
ICE.
For more than one contact, simply enter ICE1, ICE2

Great game v Saucony. Just lost 31-35. Another couple

Just to remind you that training is restarting Thursday

are around at the moment i.e. frozen fingers and icy

March'ish and runs through to May (dependent on number

ENGLAND V JAMAICA - AM
IS KINDLY ORGANISING THIS (THANKS SO MUCH)
Dear all,
As you’ve probably already heard, the England Netball
team are playing Jamaica in a couple of weeks time and
we thought it might be fun to arrange a club trip. Sadly,
they’re not playing in Jamaica, but the slightly
less exotic venue of the O2 arena in London. They’re
playing on Sunday 22nd Feb
at 4.30pm and tickets are £22
but we may manage to wangle a group discount. This doesn’t
include the cost of travel but we’re looking into
hiring a coach/minibus to keep the cost to a minimum.
More on this shortly.
I’ve seen England play a few times and I can honestly
say it’s excellent – it always makes me want
to get really fit (oh, if only). So, if you’re
interested, please send me an email (amlepage@btinternet.com)
or text me (07795097032) by Thursday
8th January.
Hope to hear from you and Happy New Year!

ALEAXANDRA SPORTS - came to visit us on
11th
December.
As the Santa season is shortly approaching and following
on from our prevention of injury theme - having the
correct footwear for netball is crucial to minimise
injury, so this was the ideal time for us to talk to
the experts and to see whether we needed to change our
footwear.
Both
Alexandra Sports and Swan Netball Club were very pleased
with the outcome. Good business for both of us.
Again our thanks to AS for making a specially journey
to look after us.
