Flamingoes Wessex 20th Birthday Celebrations

As part of the club's 20th birthday celebrations, we hosted a mass swim & display at the Poole Dolphin Centre on 24th April 2004, organised and produced by Flamingoes' coach Celia Bell.

Mass Display - April 2004

As part of the club's 20th birthday celebrations, we hosted a mass swim & display at the Poole Dolphin Centre on 24th April 2004. Many synchro clubs from across the South & West attended the event & the place was sold out!

140 swimmers all learnt a routine choreographed by Flamingoes' coaches Barbara Brailey & Coralie Thompson to 'Cotton Eye Joe' and then all performed it at the same time.

The event helped us to raise over £1,200! Half of which was donated to The Victoria School, which has enabled them to purchase many much-needed items. The other half was donated to the Children in Need appeal & members of the club were invited to the BBC Southampton studios to present the cheque live on TV in November 2004.
