Albatross History-7-1979 Penny Herring – a lovely diver. Represented the Club on many occasions. A stalwart of the team especially display diving. A good all rounder at County and Southern Counties level. She showed her skills mainly in the graceful streamlining dives which are often more difficult to maintain control.

Albatross History-7-1979 Another trip away for the Albatross divers. Penny Herring (top pic); Paul Holton; Andrew Parsons; Caroline Knollys; Louise Taylor; Marianne Green; Diana Seward and newer member Lindsay Rowan with under 11 Juliet Green dived their way to pennants in a match between Southampton divers. The event was held at Southampton’s Central Baths, past pool (now gone and replaced by The Quays International Pool). I remember self also having a dive in the adults section – first time I dived for a few years. I still have my trophy!
