Good luck to Judge Ben and Athlete Tim as they head off to Berlin this weekend. Richmond expects every man to do his duty.

Dynamic Dabblers were Anna, Alex and Benny. Static Squatters were Lucia, Toby, Lawrence and Mark. This hasn't happened for a while - more doing static than dynamic!
Well done to Lawrence with his PB. And good luck to Anna as she heads off to her first-ever pool competition in Geneva.

Dynamic survivors of the evening were Ben, Alex, Ian and Toby.
Static victims were Lucia, Lawrence and Mark. I won't go into details, but Lucia went home, and Mark and Lawrence sulked in the corner for an hour.

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....
