Crawley Divers

Hello Crawley Divers members, current and old.

As you might know we are moving out of the club hut, we will be handing it back at the end of April.

We are going to host one last BBQ at the hut, it will be great to see as many of you as possible there, equally if you have contact details for old members that might not see this, please let them know.

The BBQ will be on Saturday April 12th, we will start at 2pm but it's perfectly fine to come a bit later then that.

To make it simple we will provide all the food and drink, that is some burgers and sausages for the grill, etc. If you have special requirements you can bring your own, otherwise we should have enough there.
With this in mind it would be good if those can make it let me know so I have a rough idea of how many are coming.

This will be a great day to see old dive buddies and catch up.

For those that are able, there will be a bit of work to do after the BBQ to help finish emptying the hut. So if you can be prepared for perhaps helping us sort through some stuff to throw away, clean up the hut and even do a bit of painting, as we need to paint the walls in the boat garage before we leave.

But the main thing is to come over a chat and a burger, so hope to see many of you then.

Remember Saturday April 12th from 2 pm onward.

Merry Christmas everyone...

Hello Crawley Divers

It's time to bring the club back from hibernation!

With restrictions gradually being lifted some diving is now becoming possible again, I'm sure most of us are keen to get in the water again.

To start off I´m going to be going to one of the inland dive sites that are fairly close to us, either Wraysbury or St. Andrews Lakes. Not sure when, but soon :)
Once I have a date I'll let you know if anyone wants to join in.

Equally I encourage all club members to start thinking about trips to the local dive sites, some shore dives and dive boats, let us know if you have anything particular in mind you would like to do.

As foreign travel is likely going to be somewhat limited for some time yet, I hope we can put together a couple of UK dive trips / long weekends this summer.

You will hear more from the club soon.
