Snorkel and Training Officer's Report:
12 new snorkellers at the start of the year.
Tobias, Frida and Sophie got certified as Senior Snorkellers.
Other members would need to complete the training.
I organised 12 open water snorkels. One snorkel no one turned up. Some snorkels less than two turned up.
Members will probably need to invest in warmer snorkelling gear.
We are now full members of CFT.

Winter Snorkelling:
-I organise snorkelling for Cork SAC during the end of December, January and February. I'll cc Apple Snorkel club with this. I would recommend a warmer suit that a 3mm for this.
-No Apple snorkels will be organised until May.

Completion of Training:
Will look at running pool sessions again in April.

Budget for next year:
4 pool sessions again.
Same funding as last year.
Submit a budget in April next year when we have an idea of numbers for training.

National Snorkelling Officer Meeting:
We'll hold off unless he contacts us. Dave would like to discuss Underwater Hockey with him.

Snorkel Instructor Course:
It would be good if Sophie, Frida and Tobias could do this course. It would help out the club.
