Dear All
Many thanks to all of you that responded to the Doodle poll, we have counted up the responses and concluded the following:
There was quite an even split amongst the nippers for Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The Juniors overwhelmingly responded with wanting to keep their training on a Tuesday. This means that the training times will remain as they are, at the moment for both groups.
We are in constant communication with the pools and if any additional pool time becomes available we will inform you of this.
We appreciate that this is disappointing for some people, but it is very difficult to accommodate everyone.

Dear All
UPDATED WITH POINTS TOTALS
The MLC coaches just want to say a massive well done to all the Nippers who competed at the Welsh Open Water Championships over that last 2 days! The kids put in the most massive effort and we placed an absolutely amazing third!
Well done too, to all the parents that ferried their kids (and their friends kids) around, and to those that helped out with all aspects of the event.
It was a proper team effort and we should all be extremely proud!
Well done Mumbles, stellar work!
Thanks
MLC Coaches
Dear All
Nipper Championships are next weekend!!!!
It will be an early start!!!!!!!!
Competition starts at 8.30am and you will need to be on the beach at 7.30-7.45!!!!!
Please find attached the order of events for the event and competitor information.
Each age group will be allocated a parent to supervise the boys and another to supervise the girls - to ensure that you attend for marshalling at the correct arena and enjoy the weekend.
The weather looks promising, you have a great team and should really enjoy yourselves. You also have 7 new Hurricane Nipper Boards to enjoy and race with and we can try these out on Wednesday.
Sharon and Mike will be looking after you as team managers, we will also need to provide helpers on the day who we will identify before next weekend as they will have to register with the referees on both mornings.
We will be organising some of the relays before the event and others will be selected at the competition.
If you have any queries, please don't hesitate to contact us or ask us on Wednesday evening.
Come on Mumbles!!!!

Programme and Information
Nipper Parents
Training will be be cancelled on the 6th of July. We anticipate that there will be a certain football match that may capture peoples attention!
As a consequence training on Sunday the 10th will go on for longer, so please make sure you have booked enough time in the car park as you will need more than 2 hours!
Please bring your goggles to training. Thank you for those who have paid, and to remind you that the entry fee is £15 unless you have been told otherwise.
MLC Coaches
Well done to all the nippers (and their parents!) for their efforts at the Llantwit Carnival yesterday, with only about 30 nippers from the club attending it was a good result.
