RLSS Avon & North Wiltshire AGM
The RLSS  A&NW AGM was a great success. Four different clubs came to pitch their ideas to our team of "Dragons". So, who walked away with the cash, and who left the Den empty handed? You can find out in this report on the RLSS website.
University Lifesaving News
 The new term has now started at the universities in Bristol and Bath. The first competition of the Uni calendar took place in Warwick, where Bristol Uni made a fantastic start to the season, finishing second in the A-team league. Check out the full results (including a win in the swim-and-tow!) here. It's Bristol's turn to host next - let's hope they can continue their success on home ground. Good luck guys!
