Wales Tour Gala Event Report.

A fantastic weekend in Wales with the PGL adventure and swimming enjoyed by all - many thanks to Chris Michael and Jo for arranging such a great time, to the coaches who supervised and to the parents that supported.

The gala was lively and very noisy with reports of some parents using tissues as ear plugs!

First places were gained by Joe Young, Kieran Michael, Mark Tuddenham and Stuart Galvin in their individual events. First places were also gained in seven of the sixteen relay events with the Boys 11U and Boys 15+ winning both their Medley and Freestyle Relays.
