As some of our lead volunteers will be taking holidays in the next few weeks, and in order to maintain the best experiences for all our swimmers, we will be unable to take new junior members until after the October 2016 half-term.
We do apologise if this causes any disappointment.
It was very sad recently, to hear of the death of Peter Axson, MBE, who led the Congleton Amateur Swimming Club management committee for many years and was instrumental in teaching so many Congleton residents, both juniors and adults, to swim.
Peter and colleagues took over the running of the club when it moved from the old outdoor pool, where the Daneside Theatre now stands, into the new Congleton Leisure Centre in 1974. Without Peter and his fellow members of the committee, there would have been no amateur club, and many of us have just cause to be very grateful for his friendly support, dedication and enthusiasm.
Peter’s funeral will be held at the Macclesfield Crematorium on Thursday 22nd September. Further information can be seen on the Chronicle website.
The Congleton Amateur Swimming Club will be opening its doors again on Tuesday 6th September and is looking forward to welcoming back all its swimmers. We realise that the schools will not have started back because of the Tour of Britain stage 3 that starts in Congleton that day. However, it will be good to get back in the water and see what we can all remember from last term. See you all then!
