Annual General Meeting
18 May 2016
Dear swimmers and parents,Our Annual General Meeting will be held on Monday 13 June at 7pm at Glass Mill and all are welcome.
Our AGM is the formal meeting of all members each year. Its purpose is to receive the Chairman's report, receive and consider the annual accounts, and decide on any resolution members of the Club may wish to propose. The meeting will also elect the Executive Committee and any other members of the Committee for 2016/17.
Currently, the following Committee members have said they are willing to stand again for election to the committee:
- Chair: Neil Amos
- Deputy Chair: Marion Levine
- Treasurer: Carrie Markey
- Deputy Secretary: Rozanne Ferrigan
Kathryn Kerr, Kamla Adiseshiah and Sam Curtis have decided not to stand again as Secretary, Welfare Officer and Trophy Secretary respectively. We thank them all for all their hard work since they have been on the committee and for their commitment to the Club.
This means that we are looking for members who wish to stand for Club Secretary, Welfare Officer, Trophy Secretary and also Gala Secretary next season. All these roles can be very rewarding and are a great way to give something back to the Club, as well as to help make any changes you might want to see. Without members filling these roles, it will be hard for us to do all the things we want to do for our swimmers next season. We would particularly welcome interest from parents of swimmers in more junior or non-competitive squads, so we have good representation of all squads on the committee and we can make sure that the Club is in good hands for the next few years.
If you would like to be put forward for any committee role (including for those where we already have a nomination) then please get in touch with me via this email or 07887 540 383 and I can talk to you about what the roles involve.
Currently there are no proposed resolutions for the AGM. If you wish one to be considered, can you please let us know by 1 June.
Many thanks and we look forward to seeing you on the 13th June.
Regards,
Neil Amos
Club Chair
There was a record amount of lost property left behind at the Saxon Crown Spring Challenge this year. A record number of clubs managed to contribute. As well as that a record number of swimmers competed from clubs all over London and surrounding Boroughs. It was a successful and smooth running event with many of our own swimmers achieving qualifying times in time to enter the London SE Regionals at the end of April.
Saxon Crown came a formidable second in round 1 of the Kent Junior League. Some of the top clubs in Kent were competing, our swimmers achieved some impressive times and lots of fun was had by all.
Saxon Crown lead the way at the White Horse League after round 1. We managed to squeeze our way past Bexley by 3 points. There were some great swims, pbs, regional times and amazing camaraderie. Keep it up team!
On Friday 14th March over 270 swimmers from twenty-seven of the Borough’s primary schools arrive at Glass Mill Leisure Centre to compete in this year’s Lewisham Primary School Gala. The event was organised by Saxon Crown Swimming Club, supported by Lewisham Council and GLL, who provided pool space and staff free of charge.

For a few years now Team Saxon made a presence at Kent County competitions. Going from strength to strength even in 2025 it was great to see many more swimmers fast enough to participate in this tough event. And we did not disappoint.40 of our fastest athletes amongst which some new qualifiers competed in 214 events performing incredibly well swimming many pbs and regional times and making 88 top 10 finals in all stroke and distances, achieving 6 bronze, 10 silver and 3 gold medals making us top 8/9(points not updated after 1500 event yet) club in Kent compared to 14th last year. Moreover swimmers showed great determination, team sprint and commeraderie cheering at every event as well as competing at their best.
It is a joy to see so many happy and succesful swimmers wearing the colors of Saxon Crown and making coaches proud!
