**RE: CHANGE OF DATE — AWARDS EVENING**
Dear Mpumalanga Swimming Community,
We are writing to inform you of a change to the previously scheduled Awards Evening.
Following deliberation and consultation with a number of our members and coaches, the Executive Committee has resolved to move the Awards Evening to **Saturday, 10 October**, to be held in conjunction with the **Age Group 2 Gala**.
This decision was not taken lightly. We had originally planned to hold the Awards Evening at Winter Champs, but this did not materialise. Since then, attendance and entry numbers at Sprint Gala have been notably low, and after weighing the options with input from members and coaches across the community, we believe pairing the Awards Evening with Age Group 2 Gala gives us the best opportunity to celebrate our swimmers' achievements in front of a strong, engaged turnout.
We recognise that a date change can be disruptive to planning, and we appreciate your understanding as we work to make this occasion a meaningful one for all our swimmers, coaches, and families.
We would greatly value your support and commitment to attending on **10 October**. Your presence helps make this evening special for the swimmers being recognised, and we hope to see the community come together in full force.
Should you have any questions or concerns regarding this change, please do not hesitate to reach out to the Executive Committee.
Thank you for your continued dedication to swimming in Mpumalanga.
Warm regards,
Werner Swanepoel
President, Mpumalanga Province Swimming
