Please could we remind all club members that they are responsible for keeping their personal records up to date.
It is vitally important that the correct details are held, as this is the information which both the ASA and the club will use in order to contact members.
The ASA introduced a new Online Membership System (OMS) last year (link below), on which members (or parents for members under 18 years of age) can update address and contact details.
To ensure that we hold the correct information, please could we ask that all members take 5 minutes to check their details.
For any parents who have not used this system before, a password will need to be set up on the first visit. You will also need the following information:
If anyone has any questions regarding this, please contact Gail.

Swim North East in partnership with County Durham Sport and the ASA, have organised a FREE Young Volunteers Development Day for young people aged 15-25 within Northumberland and Durham, which will run on Sunday 24th January 2016 at Bowburn Community Centre, Durham, DH6 5AT.
The day is informative and interactive and the attendees will leave having had an introduction to officiating, completing the Timekeeping Theory module which will allow them to progress onto the Judge 1 course and knowledge of coaching through a Sports Coach UK First Steps into Coaching workshop. This will enable them to support their club, contribute to their CV and potentially their GCSE’s or NVQ course work.
As this day is being run in Durham, priority will be given to young people who are within clubs in County Durham, however, depending on the number of applicants, places will also be offered to those outside of the County Durham area.
Please find link below to event flyer and application form.
