We are off to a great start with the fundraiser, and a huge thank you to everyone who has donated so far! Your support means the world to us. We still have a way to go to reach our target, but this is a fantastic beginning.
If you've been poolside at Northcroft recently, you might have noticed the exact reason we need this appeal: we are currently down one lane rope due to a frayed cable. In its current state, that missing rope is completely unusable and has had to be taken out of action entirely.
With Club Championships approaching, some volunteers are attempting a tricky temporary repair by rethreading floats from the broken rope onto a new wire; without this effort, we may have to race without a full set of anti-turbulence lane ropes. This is a challenging fix that is proving difficult to get to hold, and while we are incredibly grateful for the hard work, it remains a difficult task and is strictly a temporary patch-up rather than a permanent solution.
Please continue to share our link with family, friends, and local businesses to help us secure a permanent, brand-new set of ropes for the club!
