BROTHER and sister Timo and Elina Gleed achieved a family double when Poole-based Wessex Diving Club held their annual club championships at the Dolphin.

The duo – both competing for the first time – scored 40.95 and 44.00 points respectively to win the boys’ and girls’ beginners’ titles.

Ryan Dewey won a particularly close boys’ improvers’ competition in which only 0.70 points separated the first three.

Emily Shipley performed a good final dive to secure the women’s highboard title despite hitting her toe on the 5m platform during her second round dive.

Life memberships and engraved coasters were presented to three members who have each been involved form more than 30 years – Ron Nicholls, who was a founder member 34 years ago, Peter Morris, who is still coaching today, and Ray Clarke.
