Inter Club Galas
Nottingham Portland belongs to the J.C. Dobb, Spring Competition and
Notts & District Leagues, competing approximately 15 times per year.
One or two invitation or friendly galas are also held in the summer.
Mini Galas
Each year, the club holds 3 or 4 mini galas which are designed to recognise
improvement in swimmer performances in a Gala environment. Swimmers
of similar ability are grouped together in races. However awards are
based upon improvement in times across all four main strokes, from one
Mini Gala to the next, rather than on places achieved in individual
races. Mini galas give valuable experience for younger swimmers
and are important in preparation for inter club galas.
Nottingham
Portland Annual Club and Summer Galas
The Club's Annual Gala is normally held in October. A Summer Gala and
social event is also held in June. These events are for all swimmers
in the club and are held at Nottingham University Sports Centre.
