437 [PGBSC Blog] Officiating at AAA Championship Meet

This Championship meet is a great opportunity for our parents/Officials
travelling to Victoria.

Stroke and Turn, Timing, Safety Marshall, Clerking etc. are excellent duties
at a BC AAA Championship Meet. (Also very good for saving some money! -
They are offering free heat sheets for the weekend for volunteers.)

Please do your best to represent the club and our swimmers by volunteering
on deck in Victoria. It would be an excellent representation for us to be
there in some shape or form. The Victoria Clubs do a great job looking
after the PG officials when we do come down to visit.

Also a reminder that Officials can also be signed off down at AAA's for
their Officials Card. Look at your card and see the items you still need to
be signed off on. Simply bring it down and ask the Meet Manager to arrange
it.

Contact Karen Bradley - Meet Manager direct via email to put your name up
for a spot. ktbradley@shaw.ca (You can also confirm by meeting her on
deck.)

You can volunteer for one or many shifts, but honestly doing both heats and
finals is the best experience. It is a great seat and you learn quite a bit
as well on the officialing side.

Larry

Prince George had 3 officials on deck at this high level meet.  This is the most ever.   

 

Sheila Nelson and Larry Chrobot referreed a day each while also completing other senior official positions on alternate days.  

 

Marilyn King was on deck as well for a few days completing Turn Judging and attending senior briefings. 

 

This is a significant step for officials in BC and especially so in Prince George. 

 

Great work on the officials side.

422 [PGBSC Blog] Swimmer Travel Subsidies

The PGBSC Executive wishes to provide updated information for its members and parents regarding the Club's current budget deficit. In the past, the Club has offered hotel room subsidies for swimmers travelling with the club at regular meets and travel subsidies for swimmers who qualify for AAA level meets and above. Due to the Club's current financial deficit, the Club will have exhausted its allocated 2012-2013 budget for swimmer travel subsidies by the end of short course season. As a result, effective at the beginning of long course season April 8th 2013, the Club will no longer be providing the option of travel subsidies for any swimmer. The executive will consider reinstating travel subsidies in the 2013-14 season dependent on Club financials and budget. For those swimmers whom continue to choose to travel with the club, the costs of hotel rooms will be equalized amongst all swimmers. For example, if your swimmer is traveling to long course AAA's, your swimmer will pay for flight/travel costs. Any swimmer travelling with the Club will split costs of rooms (example: there are 2 boys and 3 girls, the cost of two rooms would be split by 5 swimmers).

The executive recognizes these changes will impact swimmers and their families. We will continue to work towards solutions to address the budget deficit and keep our membership informed. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Karen Lange, Barracudas Executive Assistant
