The Scuba Sports Club’s Spring 2016 Newsletter is here !
I would like to invite YOU… now and forever… to tell us about all your dive adventures, Past and Present and Future! Please send those my way, along with your photos if you have them. I am compiling a huge database of our dive Club photos as our historic repository.
If you want to share your story but don’t want to bother with writing it up, NO PROBLEM, that is why I am here ! I can handle the transcription if you sit with me over some pasta and wine , and together, you and I, face to face, we’ll make it happen on my writing pad.
(…Bottle of red, bottle of white, it all depends on your appetite ! ) (…or a beer as the case may be… )
