Eric Carter claims the cup remembering Andrew and Ron Miller and Ron Hamill

Norman joined the Club in 1983. He won the Bridge to Bridge in both 1989 and 1994, the Christmas Day Peter Pan race in 1991 and has been club champion multiple times. He served on the committee for many years, was Club President 2013-2016, continues to be one of the club's two nominated Welfare Officers (Sakura Adams is the other) and is a vice President.  Norman's knowledge and experience is of great value to the current committee. 

Norman is a highly qualified swimming teacher, being a Fellow of the Institute of Swimming Teachers, a first aid trainer and RLSS lifeguard trainer and assessor.  Norman spent much of his teaching and coaching career at Imperial College where he organised and coached students to compete at the National University Swimming Championships.  He also coached school teams to win the National Schools Swimming Championships on six occasions.  Nowadays Norman can still be found teaching on the poolside at the Charring Cross Hospital Sports Club.  Norman has twice been invited to the City of London Guildhall to be honoured by his fellow professional swim teachers and coaches.

Lorraine joined the club along with Norman in 1983.  Though not really a Serpentine lake swimmer, Lorraine has played a central role in many club activites, for instance in organising Christmas parties, the Serpentine choir and trips to the seaside.  In 2008 Lorraine was part of a Serpentine SC relay team that successfully crossed the English Channel.  Lorraine had to swim four times during the 23 hour crossing "suffering from sea sickness the whole time".  Most of her training for the swim was undertaken in Lac Annecy under the tutilage of Norman.  "As you can imagine it was not always a smooth operation", commented Mr Jones.

Lorraine spent over 26 years working at Hammersmith Hospital IVF Unit.  Starting off part-time whilst the children were in school, Lorraine ended up managing the unit full time.  She was loved by staff and patients alike in what sometimes could be a very emotional and challenging environment.  She was the one on hand to both placate patients and keep doctors in line.

Ron Hamill was a regular daily swimmer and Saturday racer from the late 1960s through to the 1990s. He was a foreman at the Royal Albert Hall and was responsible for overseeing the careful moving of large grand pianos, harps and other delicate but big musical items.  In this role Ron had the privilidge of access to complimentary tickets for some big events. Those for boxing and wrestling matches proved more popular with some club members than those for more "highbrow" cultural events.
