Christmas Party

The Black Ice Xmas party was a great day and a great success and there are a few people I would
Like to thank . First Andy for organising a great venue and Harry for his hard work and generosity
Mike the tractor for setting up the computer so we could do a live cross to New Zealand for an interview with this years Black Ice swimmer of the year Yvonne Mooyman . My assistant Terry O
 And all the members for turning up to make it a fun day . On the 21st of this month we will
Have our Xmas morning Champagne swim and  Jonathan Hayward's farewell swim .  Jonno
Is one of our original members and former Black Ice swimmer of the year and the clubs logo designer
And he also started and maintains the Black Ice website . Jonno will be missed by all but we hope
He can make regular return visits back home and he has asked a few of us to visit him sometime this year . We all wish you well in your new adventure and someone else will have to lead the pack of swimmers now . 2013 had been another big year for our club with success in all the big swims and
 2014 is looking like another with club members booked to swim all over the world . A special mention to the almanac Kev for keeping up the list of Australian Channel swimmers and I will see you all soon after my break and looking forward to the new year  .
