21/01/2009 15:30 ALTERNATIVE WEEKEND TRAINING As previously notified, HMS Caledonia remains closed until at least MONDAY 26th January 2009.

Garrie has been able to secure two lanes at RCP, EDINBURGH on SATURDAY 24th JAN and SUNDAY 25th JAN 2009 between 1-3pm. All members of Youth, Youth National and all Scottish and Senior squads are invited to attend both days, in place of training at HMS Caledonia.

Regrettably, as there is only limited lane availability, this training cannot be offered to the other lower squads who would normally be training at HMS Caledonia over the weekend.

Please continue to check the website news page and emails for the latest update
20/01/2009 23:12 HMS CALEDONIA UPDATE Garrie has just been advised tonight that HMS Caledonia will now not be available to us until Monday 26th January 2009. This obviously causes ongoing problems for upper squad training at a time when pool time throughout Fife is very much at a premium with the closure of Carnegie Centre. After much searching Garrie has been able to secure pooltime for Thursday 22nd January only, from 7-9pm at LEVEN SWIMMING POOL. All squads normally in attendance at HMS Caledonia on a Thursday are invited to attend the session at Leven as an alternative. On behalf of InCAS committee and coaching staff, please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience this unexpected long closure is causing. Efforts are continuing to arrange alternative pooltime over this coming weekend and this will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Please continue to check emails and InCAS web site for the latest news. Training at the Wing and Lochgelly is on as per normal training schedule and is not effected by the closure of HMS Caledonia. 
20/01/2009 17:15 TIME KEEPERS COURSE The time keepers course will go ahead at 600pm prompt on MONDAY 26th JANUARY 2009 at The WIng.

There will be a class room talk followed by some poolside practical with the stop watches. Suitable footwear must be worn. Outdoor shoes are not allowed poolside. Be prepared to get wet!

Please confiirm your attendance ASAP.

06/01/2008 19:55 BONUS BALL UPDATE The club funds were boosted recently when £300 cash was handed over from the New Bonus Ball which was re-started in October. Our grateful thanks go to the all of those who subscribe to this each week. It really is a great way of helping to support the club and helping to provide the extras for the swimmers that are not covered by the fees without too much effort. Many many thanks.

There are still numbers available and any members who wish to contribute should contact Lindsay or Shonah Hutchison at incas-funds@tesco.net or of course poolside.

For all our newer members who have recently joined the club (or established members who have forgotten) just to explain;
The balls cost £1 each per week and the winning ball on the lotto Saturday draw determines the club winner. We normally collect on a 5 weekly basis and will email you as a receipt when you pay and email again just prior to your subscription being due as a reminder.
Remember though, you got to be in it and paid it to win it.

On another note, any unwanted Xmas presents come in very useful throughout the year in our various raffles and tombolas, if anyone or any family member/neighbour has been given such gifts surplus to requirements,please keep for the club or email us and we will store if required until needed. Soaps, bubble bath, through to singing fish/garden gnomes anything goes.
01/01/2008 00:00 HAPPY NEW YEAR! Happy New Year to all InCAS.

Very best wishes to all.
