Spectator tickets – https://nasc.co.uk/nt3meet24-spectator/
This event is a full programme of 50m and 100m events, and 200m freestyle events licenced at Level 4, idea for open gala and County qualifying times. This is also a great event for members who are new to the club to take their first step in to competitive swimming and set some times to watch their progress against.
This also represents a great fundraising opportunity for the club, and one of the ways we try to keep membership costs at the lowest in the area. We really need your support in attending and running the event. If you can assist on the day with timekeeping, marshalling and door support please contact elaine.monk@nasc.co.uk in advance of the event. Don’t worry, we’ll ease you in so you know what you are doing and it’s a great way to save a few quid on the spectator fee.
