SOCIAL

We are looking forward to Social Events in the Autumn and Winter:

Paintballing when it's wet enough!

Skittles in Wroughton

Details of both soon will be revealed in September

RECENT EVENTS - Carnivals - Recruitment Days
Wroughton Carnival:

The Club continues to support local carnivals and festivals. The system employs a gazebo, and electronic presentation systems.

The response in Wroughton was poor this year, but Wootton was excellent, with many try-dives booked and much interest from divers who are not attached to any club at the moment.

Most find it interesting that we are are not affiliated to a particular agency. Make sure YOU mention this when talking about the Club.

Wootton Bassett Festival:

Another Recent Event:

You have all seen the full story in an earlier mailing to all members...

Dave Hall and Pete Dunn lifted by Helicopter to a recompression chamber:

Our photo shows Pete Dunn being lifted from the Wild Pig just before they departed for the chamber. Dave Hall is already on board.

Skippers need support too!

Keep yourself balanced - rest, fluids, food intake, stress, attitude...

A "bend" can be due to a poor combination of events...

VACANCIES
Due to increased workloads, and travel commitments, I must ask for a volunteer (or 2) to take over the Website and the Newsletter later this year.
Applications carefully written on a £10.00 note to me soonest.
