Light Up - Flakefleet Primary
Flakefleet Primary School for Christmas No.1
We wrote and produced our original song Light Up’ with no budget after one of our kids said they dreamt of being a pop star. Video recorded on an iPhone and everything else donated. Now No.15 in the official charts with no PR machine doing it’s stuff. If you believe in miracles this Xmas, help the underdog and show that anything is possible when you #daretodream

PLEASE NOTE - THERE IS NO REGULAR TRAINING SESSION DUE TO THE LICENSED GALA
For swimmers taking part:
Swimmers to arrive at Salt Ayre at 1.45pm.
Warm-up will begin at 2.00pm.
11/Under - 2.00pm - 2.15pm
12/Over - 2.15pm - 2.30pm
Races will commence from 2.45pm.
Please advise your swimmer that at the completion of every race, they must return to marshalling via the seating area side of the pool.
All swimmers must register their attendance BEFORE entering the changing room areas. A registration table will be situated outside the pool entrance doors.
Once registered and changed, please report to marshalling which will be situated at the far end of the seating area, opposite the Tank.
Please ensure your child has drinks, snacks, 2 towels, goggles and swimming cap with them on poolside.
Please discourage your child from leaving the marshalling areas during the Gala. If they need to leave marshalling, they must first notify one of the marshall's and return promptly. If your child seeks you out, please ask them to return to marshalling.
As this is Licensed meet and there are certain protocols we must adhere to, any parent helpers must advise their children not to approach them for the duration of the gala.
Medals will be awarded to the fastest 3 boys and 3 girls in each age group (as at 31st December 2018)
All swimmers receiving medals must wear a T-shirt AND shorts/bottoms for photo's, to comply with ASA child protection legislation.
If anyone is able to provide a raffle prize, please bring it with you on the day. All donations will be gratefully received.
Results will be posted at the door end of the seating area.
Please explain to your child that heats are organised according to seed time, not age. Winning a heat does not necessarily mean winning the event as other swimmers in the same age group could be swimming in faster heats. This can cause upset on the day and is best explained in advance.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL SWIMMERS TAKING PART
REMINDER for the older swimmers... no formal land training this week or next week (12th & 19th).
Please use the mats to do your own training.
Thanks
Sophie
CONGRATULATIONS to all the swimmers who took part in the NW National Arena League Finals in Salford at the weekend. As ever, the battles were closely fought (in a tremendous atmosphere) and each swimmer made a great contribution to the team. My sincere thanks to the poolside team of coaches, the judges, recorders and the many parent supporters who cheered our swimmers on. Our third place means that Carnforth Otters will be promoted to the Premier Arena League in 2019!
The points were as follows:
6th 139 points Bebbington
5th 153 points Prescot
4th 155 points Everton
3rd 175 points Carnforth Otters
2nd 183 points Stretford
1st 223 Points COSSACS
