Bromley LC - Saturday 22nd November
Distance Meet Promoters Conditions.pdf
With the 1500m Distance Meet next week, please can I furnish you with the following information? This Meet is hugely popular, and we will need to operate with exceptional efficiency to ensure it runs smoothly.
Warm-up and start time: Warm-up will be at 1245 - we will run it by heat numbers again, with the first six heats at 1245. I will send heat sheets next week once we process withdrawals. We must start racing at 1:30. We expect the Meet to finish by 5:45 (with a 15-minute Official break). Please do not enter the leisure centre until 1230.
Further Update to timings
Slight amendment, the 2nd warm up will now be at 3:30. Hopefully this is the final change.I attach the latest heat sheet in my bid to be fully prepared for this Saturday.
Official break: After heat 6, we will take a 15-minute break, during which we are happy for swimmers in heats 6-12 to have a secondary warm-up. Note that if your swimmer is in heat seven, and there are withdrawals on the day, and that swimmer is moved into heat six, they could miss their race if they turn up halfway through the gala.
Officials – URGENT (we only have six at the moment): Please can I ask that you share this link with your Officials to sign up, otherwise we cannot run this meet: https://www.swim-meet.com/OfficialsSignup/Bromley/?h=615
Withdrawals: To avoid empty lanes, we will enforce clause 9.3 (a £15 fine) for any no-show. Please find the withdrawals link for YOUR club. Could I please request that only one person has access to this and that it is not shared? We have had instances where withdrawals have been incorrectly made, so it is best to have one nominated person control this: https://swim-meet.com/WithdrawalClubSwimmer/?meet=bromley_1500m_25&club=SaxonCrown(Lewisham)Swimmin&code=98380
Swimmers' area: After warm-up, the first four heats will be in marshalling, and all other swimmers will be in the spectator gallery upstairs. There will be a Marshall guiding your swimmers.
Parking at New Addington: Parking is available using the Ringo App (code 16416). If the car park is full, it is a residential area, and therefore, street parking on adjacent roads is freely available within a 5- to 10-minute walk.
Officials Urgently Needed
As you may know, it is highly challenging to find officials for distance events. Presently, we have a serious problem, hence this begging email: we only have 9 officials. The minimum to run this is 14, and then if anyone pulls out, we cannot run it as a L3 gala. The ideal is to get 16.
If you have anyone swimming who you know has a parent who is an official, please ensure they can help. This is desperate, as I am not keen on emailing everyone late next week with bad news.
