June Wheaton

We regret to announce the sad passing of June Wheaton on Friday 20th November 2020 at the age of 92. June was the daughter-in-law of George Wheaton, married to his son Lindsay.

June loved her annual visits to Drummoyne Pool to present the trophy to the winner of the BBB and we will miss her cheery personality.

Week 8: The Final of the World Famous George Wheaton BBB

BBB Semi Finals and Final

This week the highlight of swim club will be one of our most popular and important trophy races – the George Wheaton 50m BBB Handicap race. As we had so many entries and heats this year, we will hold two semi-finals before the final.

We usually have a large representation from the Wheaton family on deck to present the trophy. Unfortunately, this year due to COVID and an unwell family member this won’t be possible this season. We wish the family well during a difficult time and hope to see them again next season.

The qualifiers for the George Wheaton 50m BBB Handicap Trophy Event to be decided by two semi-finals followed by a final on 21 November 2020 are as follows:

The Barbarians are Canada Bay Cup Winners!

Congratulations to the Barbarians – winners of the inaugural Mayor’s Canada Bay Cup!

Well done to the Barbarians – the out of towners – who took out the inaugural Mayor’s Canada Bay Cup.

A special thanks to Mayor Angelo Tsirekas for bringing good weather back to swim club and being on hand to present the trophy to the winning team. Names of the winners and the Mayor will be engraved on the trophy.

There was a slight mix up with the handicap and lane allocation but the Barbarians swam really well and are deserving winners.

The challenge is now for one of the suburbs in the LGA to take back the cup next season.

Reminder: Registrations are open!

This is a reminder that member registration is open for Season 2020/21.

We’ve had good numbers register so far but need to close the gap between swimmers and members and we need all active swimmers to register. Registration fees go a good way to funding the Club’s activities so please help us continue to provide a fun and positive environment for everyone by joining up as soon as you can.

Swimmers can join the Club or renew their membership at the Swimming NSW Swim Central portal: https://swimcentral.swimming.org.au.

NSW Active Kids vouchers can now be redeemed online in the registration process.

More information and instructions can be found on the Club’s Fees and Registration page.

We appreciate that Swim Central has been difficult to use in the past (that’s probably the most diplomatic thing to say about it…) and that it often takes more than one or two attempts to successfully register. If you have any issues or questions, please contact our Club Registrar, Michael Donnellan on registrar@drummoyneswimclub.com.au or mobile 0422 453 322.

Michael will be back on pool deck on the 29th November so if you’re still having troubles with the system go and see him then.

Please note that swimmers must be registered in order to be eligible for awards and trophies at the end of the season.
