Club members have been pounding the pavements of Wingham asking for sponsorship from businesses, in the way of either items or $25 sponsorship. The amount of $25 allows a race to go ahead and place-getters to be awarded.
The club committee says the carnival will be bringing hundreds to our town as the carnival is the last chance for swimmers to qualify for the Country Championships. The Swimming North Coast region ranges from Bulahdelah to Tweed Heads, and club president Mark Carstens says he is also expecting entrants from Newcastle.
“We requested this. We were lucky enough to be given this from Swimming North Coast,” Mark said.
Businesses who are sponsoring races will have their names printed on the program, announced at the time of the event and may be able to have a banner displayed.
