Firstly, welcome to Katherine who joined us for her first session....and well done on your static PB! Helping Katherine along the static way, were Louise, George, Alfonso and Stuart.
Another well done to Alfonso, who made a PB also.
Our dynamic video stars were ( in order of appearance ) - Magda, Mariette, Lawrence, Mark and Toby.
We couldn't have done it without Laura Storm, our Producer / Director / Camerawoman. Hugs and kisses from us all :-)

I don't know what everyone has been eating and drinking since I have been away, but we are having a spate of PB's, especially in Statics. George, Mariette, Gary and Alfonso have all made considerable increases, with Gary and Alfonso doing week-on PBs. Interesting that there has been a switch to static from dynamic as the most popular discipline ( which has taken about 4 years to happen! )
Tonight, Magda, Lawrence, Ian and Mark did the dynamic thing. George, Mariette, Gary and Alfonso on static duty.

Christmas Pizza
Time to turn our thoughts to the festive season, and an evening in the local pizzeria instead of the Richmond Baths. As per tradition, this will be in January, when a slice of warm Neopolitan and a glass or two of Chianti win hands down over floating toenails and hairclips.
So, for all of you regulars and irregulars, head on over to:
"Dude, where's my Pizza"
and put down your names and availability. Mr h will take care of the rest.

Out The Richmond Monkey
Monkey catchers unite. We *can* catch the Richmond Monkey, and here's how:
Monkey Cage
Put your name in, and then tick off from the choice, who you think it is. Not sure? Put up to 3 ticks. Someone not on the list who you suspect? Send me an email and I'll add them.
I haven't added all Richmond regulars, as some of you haven't been coming along for as long as the primate has been vandalising the blog. So unless someone suggests otherwise, you are eliminated from the list of suspects.

Georgie, Gary and Toby meanwhile busied themselves with a spot of static.

Oh yes, it's ladies' night, and when the lane is right ( or left ), then Magda and Lo-u-i-se get it on, ( dynamic, oh yeah ).
Meanwhile, in the shallows, Mark manages to finally freak out the whole pool ( Scoobies as well ) with a rather spectacular demonstration blackout for the course attendees.
No-body doooes it better...

Being very dynamic tonight were Magda, Lawrence, Toby, Ross and Nick. Sleepy in static were Flavia, Brian, Theo and Mark. Theo gave us a lesson in minimalism ( or absent mindism ) by not having mask or noseclips. To finish things off properly, he shredded the top half of his wetsuit and cast it to one side.

Thursday 21st August 2008
Welcome tonight to Nick, who joined Toby and Mark in the dynamic lane.
Where has everyone gone? The answer is twofold. Firstly, the World Championships are on in Egypt. Secondly it is the Bank Holiday weekend. For prospective attendees waiting in the wings, please be patient - the introductory courses are on their way.

Dynamic demons tonight were Magda, Roy, Gary, Toby and Lawrence.
Static stallions were Georgie, Louise and Mark.
Big thanks to Anne-Marie for helping out with safety. On a disappointing note, I was asked to make payment for Anne-Marie for her doing this, even though she wasn't in the water (!) If someone gives up their time to help out, and with no benefit to themselves, I find it impossible to justify this. However, that appears to be one of the new 'rules' for us to abide, so in future be aware - once you go into the pool area, suited or not, pool fees are expected.

** EVERYONE PLEASE READ - ESPECIALLY 'REGULARS'. Tonight there is a pool induction running in the marked-off lane. This means NO DYNAMIC SLOTS, just for this Thursday. ( So the text in the next paragraph does not apply this week. ) The shallow end outside our lane will still be available for statics, so there will be 6 of those slots available for those that make the bookings **. Apologies for the disruption.

Well done to Lawrence with his PB. And good luck to Anna as she heads off to her first-ever pool competition in Geneva.

Thanks everyone who came along last night for the delayed Xmas beer and pizza evening. Apologies to those of you I didn't get to talk to.
Well done to Ben, for claiming the inaugural 'Noble Prize'. This will be an annual award from now on, to someone within our group who has made achievements not only for themselves, but for others.
In Ben's case, he works tirelessly behind the scenes for both the BFA and Deeper Blue, not to mention his help and advice to all of us over the last couple of years. On top of that, he has managed to earn himself 3 national records. We'll miss him and Penny when they head back home this summer.

Welcome back to Dave King tonight, after several years absence! And a stonking PB static to boot - 6m50s, which I believe is a new PB. Nothing like making a re-appearance in style!
Tonight was also the night to present the UK Women's Championship award to Liv Philip. Well done Liv, and well-deserved.
Joining Liv and Dave in the static world of dreaminess, were Lucia and Mark. In the Dynamic world of speeding hairclips, were George, Ben, Keith, Gary and Ian.

Richmond Freedivers Christmas Outing
Shaddup, I know it's not Father Christmas....
Here's the plan - instead of staring at hairclips and other unmentionables on the pool bottom, we go out for a beer and a pizza...somewhere in Richmond, on a Thursday night.
If you're a regular ( or even an irregular, but ideally not a complete stranger ) then go to this link and tick off the dates you can make:
http://www.doodle.ch/gyczy3h6d4wm3mar
Now, you may be wondering what has happened to November. I'm afraid this is still serious training season for one or two of our crowd, and we can't afford to give up a pool session until December. So it may well be that it will be a January date ( which is nice because it means we have something to look forward to in the new year ).
I doubt we'll get a full green column, but highest hit date wins.
....and please, don't post a comment to say when you can make it, that's what the doodle poll is for. I suppose the monkey will have something to say, no doubt.

Welcome tonight to Gary Brown, and well done with your debut static PB! Well done also to Toby who made a PB in Static as well. Mark and Lucia buddying respectively.
Quite a busy dynamic lane, with Ben, Ian, Gary, Keith and Alex all jostling for position. Alex now holds the UK record for variable volume inside his wetsuit. I don't know exactly what was in there, but there was a lot of it. If I'd had one on me, I'd have awarded him a yellow card....

Gorgeous George, Ardent Alex, Irridescent Ian and Belting Benny were the fabulous four flexing their dynamic muscles last night. ( Good to see Alex now has the sense to not bind his legs together in one of those monofin contraptions. )
Luscious Liv and Marauding Mark managed some degree of static training, inbetween gassing.

Thanks to Stevie Hardman for travelling up from Brighton to chat to us and see what we do. Welcome back Richard, after your brief interlude.
The 3 staticeers tonight were Lucia, Mark and Richard. Obviously absence makes the apnea grow longer, as Richard made a PB.
The four gibbons in the Dynamic lane were Gary, Toby, Alex and Andrew.

Lucia and Mark went absolutely King-Kong with statics, while chimpanzeeing up and down dynamic lane one were Liv, Ben, Alex, Toby, Gary and Ian.
See - I'm fine with all this monkey business. But it will stop soon, won't it? Surely??

Swinging tree to tree in the dynamic lane were Livvy, Ben, Toby, Gary and James; the chimp's static tea party consisting of Lucia and Mark. If you can't beat the monkeys, join them. ( Political correctness necessitated avoidance of the term 'spank'. )

The four static-teers tonight were George, Lucia, Livvy and Ben. The four dynamic-teers being Toby, Gary, Ian and Mark.
Benny performed a stonking static tonight - I don't normally go into numbers, but when the number 6 is passed, it has to be worthy of a mention. A notable PB indeed.
Good Luck to our warriors Ben and Livvy as they head off into the wilds of Maribor, to fight for the name of Richmond. Or to compete in pool disciplines at the World Championships - it's one or t'other.

In static station we had George, Anna, Dave and Tim. No finning, two finning and one finning were Benny, Alex, Andrew and Mark. Even Stevens.
Very well done to George, who pulled a good advance out of the bag and made a PB.

Good attendance tonight, with Lucia, Ian, Toby, Gary, Benny and Matt all squeezing into Lane 1 for dynamic. Meanwhile, Anna, Livvy, George, Orchid Dave and Mark went static in the shallows.
Big welcome to George, and good to see Dave back from his travels. Great performances all round from the static contingent. Sorry to hear Livvy's multiple woes....can't believe the last one - booked for using a mobile phone in a parked car just because the engine was running! I reckon we ought to start a campaign for her, for that one!! Big thumbs down to the Met for that - how about you guys go out and sort out some of the capital's gun crime, and stop harrassing the innocent???

The dynamic team tonight were Matt, Toby, James, and Andrew. Ben and Mark contented themselves with a spot of light static ( challenging weekend ahead ). Matt made a very impressive DNF Personal Best.

Tonight's gang of four were Anna, Toby, Ian and Mark, all making use of our dynamic facility. Big welcome to Anna, who made her debut tonight. Anna is an AIDA ***-going-on-****, so brings in some welcome experience to the group.

The Famous Five Go Mad In Dynamic Lane One. Another classic Apnea Bite-on adventure, featuring Gary, Ian, Toby, Alex and Mark. Watch them swim up and down, float, sink, and even listen to Toby's underwater mp3 player. And they didn't even tell their parents!!
