    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.
