Some of the photos today were taken by my Dad, who kindly agreed to take some photos from the sidelines for me.
Jules & Michael were down for their last swim.

Re Trivia Night: I have booked my ticket but not a place at a table. Anyone got a spare seat on their table for a smallish person?

Nice work Robbie. Some great shots by your dad.
