Mighty congratulations to Rod Newing and Steve Newell, who on behalf of Serpentine SC presented just shy of £600 to the Chiswick & Dover RNLI Lifeboat. The donation was made from monies raised at the Serps Christmas party and raffle.
Serps presented a cheque for £596.89 to Chiswick RNLI helmsman Andy Mayo and also an equal amount has been donated to the Dover RNLI Lifeboat.
The club chose Chiswick and Dover RNLI because many of its members swim in the Thames and and a number are cross channel swimmers.
It is also a good moment to congratulate Rod Newing on being the catalyst for organising many swims on the Thames over the last few years. Like the tidal river itself, the number of swimmers who join in has ebbed and flowed, but all enjoy the event. If you want to know when the next date a swim is arranged for, contact Rod for more information.
