New House System
Ian Hall • November 16, 2019
A bit of friendly in-house competition

As you may have noticed, in some of the sessions we have ended with fun relays. Whilst SADSC is not a competition club we would like to add a bit of a competitive dimension for various activities we do over our swimming calendar.
To this end, we are going to introduce a house system with the basic premise that points will be awarded for events during the year with a winning house declared at the end of June. Points will be awarded for;
• Total Distance covered for all house members on distance awards night
• Number of Stage progressions each term
• Attendance
• In house Gala Relay
• Number of challenge awards achieved
• Number of speed awards achieved
• Number of Parents as volunteers
plus other criteria.
There will be three houses, and we will split the member list evenly between the houses, based on current stage levels. Any new members will be allocated a house based on balancing the numbers in each house.
We have not decided on names for these houses - we will decide on names over the coming weeks, but in the meantime, we will use the club colours of Black, Yellow and Blue.
We hope this adds another dimension to the club that helps set us apart from the rest.

We cordially invite everyone to our awards evening on Saturday 28th March at ‘The Crossing’ community centre, in Stone. The event is an annual social and fundraising evening where we present our club trophies to various members. This year will be slightly different (you’re probably getting used to things being slightly different by now), in that we will have some categories to present that are not our usual ‘gala’ trophies. This is to make the awards more inclusive to the club as a whole. For those that have not been to the awards event before, this is a great, fun evening, with food and music which we hope everyone will come along and support. Tickets are priced at: • Adults, £5 • Children, £4 • Family Ticket (2 Adults and 3 Children) £20
