On Friday 19 November 2004 the Maryon Wilson Swimming Race was again at West Wickham Baths.  Two lengths or 66 metres means hard work and no breather!  A really good turnout of 17 swimmers and lots of spectators saw Nick Bunclark win, yet again (yawn!), in a faster time than last year of 38.0 seconds.  The handicap this year went to Bill Clapham who improved by 8 sec on last year.

 

In 1893 Sir Spencer Maryon-Wilson presented the trophy to the Club for the encouragement of swimming. For last couple of years the event has been held at West Wickham baths over two lengths.  As well as the scratch race there is a handicap event.  All members are encouraged to take part; any style, change of stoke allowed - you don't even have to dive in!
 
A good cross section of ages...
Scratch Race - Simon, 2nd - Nick, 1st & Darryl, 3rd Handicap - Mike, 2nd - Bill, 1st & David, 3rd
