Fun Friday's Start June 6th

Fun Friday's begin this week -- June 6th. Instead of regular practice the kids get to play in pool and have fun with the coaches. And to make this 'fun' for the parents as well, we're delaying the start time to 9:00 a.m. The younger kids (6 & under and 7-8) will be 9:00-9:45 and the older kids (9-10 and 11 & up) will be at 9:45-10:30.

We've also circulated a sign-up sheet asking everyone help by bringing either donuts (munchkins or donuts) and juice -- two volunteers for each, in each age group. Thanks to everyone that has already signed up, the kids really enjoy this after all their hard work practicing. The sign-up sheet will be at each practice -- either Barb or I will have it somewhere, so please sign up if you can.

June 5th Meet - Directions to Kingston Square

Once you leave Bradshaw Farms, drive back to Hwy 5 or I-575. Come South to the Hwy 92 exit (# 7). Turn right at top of ramp, and drive about 1.1 miles to Fitchburg Dr. The Kingston Square sign has been set back due to construction project, but it is the 1st street past the little Kingston Square office park. Turn left into the sub-division and go to the stop sign. Turn left onto Londondale, and go 2 short blocks to next stop sign. Turn left again onto Boston Ridge, and travel to the 2nd stop sign. Turn right onto Yorkshire, the pool is at the bottom of the hill.

Parking area is across the street from the pool BEHIND the pink stucco house. Pull into the driveway and follow the signs to a large pasture area. DO NOT PARK on the street across from the pool, the FIRE MARSHALL will have you towed due to need for a FIRE LANE.
