EVENT DESCRIPTION-(Continuation Sheet)

R) At times (particularly as a race is drawing to its close), the noise level in the Pool Area is well above the normal decibels range, when it can become painful. Therefore there will be available, an issue of approx. 20 packaged Disposable Ear Defenders. Simply roll them between finger and thumb, until ‘thin’ then insert into ear, where they will ‘swell’ slightly, and create a barrier to the excessive sounds. Take them out any time, and re-use as required during the day.

---- Please Return unused ones to Mel Williams, as they are from his personal stocks ---
