2008 Session Dates and Fees Announced

Dates and fees for the Winter, Spring, and Summer sessions are available on the Calendar page.  The session fees have increased slightly to incorporate the annual club fee that has been discontinued.  The new registration form is available on our Sign-up page. Starting with Fall of 2007, there will be a renewed emphasis on pre-registration by mail.  There will also be a session manager to oversee the beginning of each session to make sure all swimmers have registered before they enter the pool.  Several opportunities for in-person registration will be offered in November.  Watch this space for details.

 State of the Club Message

The GLWP Board met on Sunday, September 16th at Canham Natatorium.  The club is in good financial condition, has had a good year and plans to make 2008 even better!  Several changes in session fees were agreed upon, including discontinuing the 'multiple sessions' discount and the annual club fee.  There has been a problem with late session payments and a lack of accountability at practices for who has paid and who has not.  The club hopes to solve this problem by emphasizing mail-in registration and by having a parent serve as 'Session Manager' to take care of the new session paperwork and record keeping.  Read Club President Stewart Nelson's 'state of the club' message for more details.
