Ron Awarded Lifetime Achievement Award by Everybody Sports and Leisure

Local retired businessman Ron Gill is standing down after an incredible 38 years of service as Chairman of Macclesfield Seals Swimming Club.

Macclesfield Seals Swimming Club is a social swim club for people with disabilities, from any age group, children and adults, with any kind of disability. The Seals Club was formed in Spring 1957, and now meets at Macclesfield Leisure Centre pool each Friday evening.

Ron started to swim with the Seals as a young man in the early 1970s. An amputee himself, he says that he gained such a lot from being a member, that when someone was required to help on the committee, he accepted the post of Chairman. He has been Chairman for 38 years, and has been poolside every week, encouraging, keeping order and making sure everyone has a good time.

Although Seals is not a teaching club as such, Ron has encouraged and enabled many members to learn to swim or improve their skills, gaining badges along the way, and Ron has fostered a great caring family atmosphere amongst all the members. Many people visiting the Club are astonished at the unique atmosphere.

Ron Gill being presented with the ESAR
Lifetime achievement award from Wendy Lipscombe.
Ron has been chairman for the seals disability swimming group
for 38 years and retired this year.
Wendy, a receptionist at Macclesfield LC has
worked 21 years with Ron every Friday night.
We wish Ron a happy retirement and
well done on winning the lifetime achievement award.
