ARAMIS - THE START
Our founder Diving Officer and founder
Chairman, the " Two Tones ", started the club in April 1994. Tony Butcher
suggested the formation of a dive club in Goole after Tony Dean offered
to sponsor 4 sets of equipment on the provision that he learned to dive
before his holidays in June. That was it. A number of prospective members
came along to the first meeting at the Leisure Centre pub along with a
number of RMS employees wanting to learn to dive. Tony B completed all
the paperwork and thought of the name, a derivative of RMS, and decided
on which equipment the club needed to start. The " Two Tones made sure
the equipment was at the pool-side every Thursday night in good order.
The club is still going strong today and still meet at the pool-side every
Thursday night.
NOTE: Tony Dean did learn to dive before his holiday to Corfu in the June.
