Geordie Wotherspoon Memorial Gala On Sunday 16^th September 2007 eight swimmers represented Incas in the 9 & under age group. In the individual swims Tain Bruce was first in the freestyle with Suzanne O’Brien and Struan Moodie taking second place in their respective backstroke events. The girls relay team; Suzanne O’Brien, Amy Marshall, Kirsty O’Donnell and Tain Bruce battled their way into third position. Also swimming really well were Andrew Duncan, Lewis Ross and Thomas Witton.

Dunfermline Amateur Swimming Club Friendly Gala.  On Saturday 22^nd September 2007 sixteen swimmers from Incas competed in this friendly gala against five other clubs. All the girls and boys swam their socks off and there was hardly an event went by without an Incas swimmer standing on the rostrum. The following swimmers together achieved the trophy for the club with the most points. Those competing were Leighona Harper, Andrew Duncan, Emily Paterson, Struan Moodie, Leah Marshall, Alistair Symonds, Georgina Hutchison, Joe Nally, Erin Brown, Conor Nally, Amber McWhiter, Laura-Kate O’Brien, Amy Marshall, Hayden Moffat, Suzanne O’Brien and Morven Rae-Seaman – WELL DONE TO ALL!

To all those involved the trophy is currently with Emily Paterson. In order to stop the likelihood of it going missing the intention is for each family to keep it for a week then pass it on against a signature. THIS HANDOVER SHOULD HAPPEN EVERY MONDAY NIGHT AT INVERKEITHING. Elizabeth O’Brien will sort out a rota.

Fife Novice League. Congratulations to all those who competed throughout the year in the Fife Novice League for which INCAS won a large shield (so you will need a large mantelpiece). Again to stop the likelihood of it going missing the intention is for each family to keep it for a week then pass it on against a signature. Elizabeth O’Brien will sort out a rota.

If you wish to be considered for this event, please ensure you make payment to Pauline Lawson on or before this Sunday.
