1. The Stingrays 200 Club shall commence on 1st May 2011.
2. Membership of the Club shall be by payment of a subscription of £12 per year per number, payable in advance. Members may have multiple subscriptions and hence multiple numbers.
3. Members joining later in the year will be charged on a pro-rata basis, to fall in line with the renewal date of 1st April each year.
4. 50% of the monthly payments make up the “Prize Fund” while the remainder goes to Salisbury Stingrays ASC.
5. Anybody over the age of 16 can become a member of the Stingrays 200 Club. Membership is restricted to those associated with Salisbury Stingrays ASC.
6. The Stingrays 200 Club shall not be limited to 200 members.

• Circulation List of County and Club Officers 2011

WILTS COUNTY ASA-2011 Job Allocation

• Auditors have been appointed to check the accounts during the coming financial year.
• Club Secretary position remains vacant.  It was agreed a job description would be circulated and a Swim21 co-ordinator would be appointed seperately.
• Negotiations for more pool time at 5R are ongoing, but it is looking hopeful for an extra lane in the morning and perhaps starting to swim at 5.30 instead of 6am to allow a full 2 hour session for everyone.  The extra pooltime will be particularly useful as we have come to an arrangement whereby the tri-club will train for 1 hour in the morning on Mon, Thur and Sat.
• There was a discussion regarding Senior Club and the lack of pool time they have with the new timetable.  It was agreed that this was an important section of the squad and that the timetable will be amended to give them a total of 7 hours possible swimming per week adding Sunday 5-6pm and Friday 6.15-7.15 at Godolphin to their allocation.
• Treasurer is to review Finances in January re; funding of Head Coach
• Volunteers need to be recruited.  Ideas of how to do this have been requested.

• Friday evening sessions at Godolphin are going to be focused on Skill Development for swimmers and coaches.
