KENNET DISTRICT SWIMMING GALA 2011 – RESULTS

The Swimming Gala this year proved to be yet another popular District event, and it
was heart-warming to see so many young people, Leaders and parents supporting
the event. Special thanks go to Martin Turner and Gerard O’Neill for organising and
running the event so very well, and also to Diana and Richard Wheatley for once
again ensuring the scoring was properly recorded. Also, thanks go to the team of
Leaders, Explorer Scouts and parents who kept the whole event running smoothly.

A special mention needs to go to 1st Inkpen & Kintbury, 1st Newbury Sea Scouts,
1st Wash Common and 3rd Newbury for entering Cubs and Scouts from all
sections, which made the event what it is all about – getting as many young people
participating as possible. Congratulations to the winning teams, and to all who took
