December 2016 Newsletter

Thursday Pool Sessions

There are no pool sessions this month, but we will reconvene in January.

Ask Linda about the Lottery

You may have won, if not, then you should play harder! It's not expensive, it's a bit of fun and it helps support the club.

Anything Else?

If any member has any other news they'd like to share, please make full use of the comments section below.

Have a very Merry Christmas!

November 2016 Newsletter

A light newsletter this month, because it's already dark and cold enough outside as it is.

Discount Offer from JR Services

Testing & Servicing Discounts until Christmas 2016

It's that time of year again, when we hope to encourage people to bring their kit in to be done NOW, in the Autumn, instead of adding to the nightmare rush and unavoidable delays around Easter
time.

As usual, we offer 10% off testing & servicing labour with the added incentive of 15% off labour for 5 - 9 items and an extra incentive of 20% off labour for 10 or more items.

If you know of someone who might appreciate this discount, please feel free to let them know.

Please note that we do not e mail everyone, so if you're a club member, pass the message on & let other club members know about the offer.

If there are a few of you who all have kit, why not get together and bring it to us in one batch to maybe increase the available discount?

Changes to the Cylinder Test Intervals: There are rumours going round that the cylinder test interval is changing from 2 1/2 year to an annual Vis Insp with a Hydro every 5 years (like in US & Australia).

As yet, we have not been officially told anything. Therefore we are
carrying on testing as per the existing legislation - diving cylinders
passing a test now will be in test for 2 1/2 years.

Lots of love,

October 2016 Newsletter

Hello and welcome

Hello, I hope you are all able to see this club newsletter, now on the exciting world wide web. It's also interactive, you can contribute comments at the bottom and we can have discussions about things as well. I will also occasionally post diving logs between newsletter issues, some of which you can already read from a couple of years back.

Wow!

Currently this exciting format is the only option I have for writing newsletters on the account I own quite a cheap little tablet that has limited functionality. There's no need to worry about exclusivity, for those who stumble upon my blog who are not in the club are probably likely to be generally bewildered by it anyway. Conversely, I expect club members to fully comprehend and accept my jibber jabber. 

Also on your phone!

Yes, the future is here! If you can open emails on your phone then you can click on the newsletter link and it should take you to a mobile friendly version of this site. It should have all the same functionality. Please feed back to me any issues you have regarding this, and I'll see if there is anything I can do to fix it.

So, down to business...

Pool

There last pool session will be on 24th November 2016 for all activities. The decision has been taken not to hire the pool through December. Sessions will restart on 5th January 2017.

Diving and other fun

There are a few events planned:

• Skittles and food at Stoodleigh, provisionally planned for 22nd October.
• The weekend of 26/27th November is still open to anyone interested.
• Alan Barnes has found a hall in Taunton we might be able to use for functions, it has a bar and affordable catering.
• Keep an eye out for a planned trip next September (2017) to Lanzarote. Provisional costs is £850 for the hotel and £240 for a 10 dive package.

And now, the weather

Changeable.
