There will be a short announcement, prior to the start of each of the galas, remembering Martyn Garner, a local official and generally good guy, followed by 1 minute of applause.

Good luck to all teams competing in round two of this year's Mercian League. A reminder - if any swimmer has achieved an MDQT they must take any further part in this year's league. Many thanks :-)
