Club History
For the 2nd time this year we have been contacted regarding swimming records from the early years of the club. This time we have received details of the winner of the 1890 Maiden Handicap event which was won by Thomas Hughes Spencer.
To date, this is the earliest record that we have since the club was formed in 1885. The club would like to express it’s sincere thanks to Mr. Steve Spencer, the great nephew of Thomas who has generously contacted the club with the information.
